Denver Radio Station Abruptly Scraps All-Day Broncos Coverage

Colorado-based KDFD-AM is making changes to its programming, as all-day Broncos coverage is "no longer on the station's airwaves," according to Kyle Fredrickson of the DENVER POST. The Denver iHeartMedia property has "not announced formal programming changes." The so-called "Orange & Blue" station, founded in July '17 with a Broncos partnership, had "featured commentary and analysis from former players." It also "carried live news conferences and featured exclusive interviews" with then-coach Vance Joseph and President of Football Operations & GM John Elway. But by yesterday, the station's Broncos coverage had been "replaced by patriotic rock and country music." Denver iHeartMedia also operates KOA-AM, the Broncos’ flagship station, which "could absorb some coverage" formerly provided by KDFD (DENVER POST, 7/10).
