KGUD first went on the air in 1975 as a 10 watt non-commercial FM station. It was licensed to the St. Vrain Valley School District ... See more and housed at the Career Development Center, the District’s vocational-technical school. Students enrolled in the radio-television production program utilized the station to learn the basics of broadcasting. The original call letters were KCDC. The radio-television training program was discontinued in 2000. The St. Vrain Valley School board agreed at that time to transfer the license to a newly formed non-profit group known as Longmont Community Radio, which acts as a governing board for the station. KGUD—the new call letters—were chosen to reflect the easy listening style of music featured on the station. The studios are co-located with The Longmont Channel in the historic Carnegie Library Building at 4th and Kimbark Street. The KGUD Mission Statement “Improving community through communication”
