The following is a summary of KOTO’s history in Jim’s words, writing under the alias B.F. Deal, in volume 7 of the “Koto Nooz”:
“You had to be in Telluride in 1974 to understand why KOTO came into being. At that time, Telluride’s available airwave entertainment consisted of one 1950s-style TV station, one semi-pop AM radio station and zero FM signals. Many of the new faces in town had grown up on music of the free form FM stations of the ‘60s and were ready for the information - and we wanted to live in a community that provided it all.

Some faces of KOTO
Beyond Telluride's KOTO, the FM and AM radio dials are crowded with commercial stations, offering not very much worthwhile around the clock, an incessant roar of rock, C & W, lots of “oldies,” inane talk and harsh rap.
Of the or so thousand public radio stations in the nation, only about a handful are like KOTO with no commercials or commercial underwriting whatsoever.
For 34 years, KOTO has been broadcasting 20 hours a day, 365 days a year from a 3,000-watt transmitter located about 200 yards west of the Coonskin lift. Over 2,500 community supporters comprise the membership. There are more than 200 licensed volunteer DJs, half of who are active on-air. A seven-member board, elected annually for two-year terms at KOTO’s July meeting, provides guidance and oversight.
