In 1982 of the 300 public radio stations in the continental United States (including Indian reservations) and Alaska, African Americans controlled 16, Hispanics 12, and Native Americans 9. The Hispanic-controlled stations comprised the National Federation of Community Broadcasting (NFCB), an organization dedicated to increasing Hispanic access to media. In the western United States, Hugo Morales of Fresno, California, managed the Western Community of Bilingual Radio and Radio Bilingue, the regional arms of the NFCB. Only one Spanish-language station operated in Denver (KBNO, an AM station), despite the fact that 13 percent-approximately 378,000 people-of the Denver metropolitan area’s population was of Hispanic origin. By 2020, Colorado’s Hispanic population is expected to reach 20 percent. See Exhibit 4 for statewide population demographics.
