September 1, 2017 — The Summit Daily ran a full-length article about SPRTV’s need for a new power line and our campaign to fund it.
August 2017 — Breckenridge Creative Arts Magazine recently ran a great profile of SPRTV.
January 19, 2015 — A January 19 Summit Daily article said the following about the Summit Foundation including $50,000 for SPRTV’s power line replacement project in its 2014 Fall grant cycle:
While some organizations apply for grants every year, others only apply in certain years, when they have a project coming up. Such was the case with the Summit Public Radio & TV (SPRTV), a local nonprofit that keeps Summit County connected to the outside world via antenna television and radio signals. The group was awarded a grant that will go toward replacing 3 miles of cable to the station at the top of Bald Mountain.
“We got huge support, I was thrilled,” said Sue Greene, vice president of development for SPRTV, about The Summit Foundation grant. Though it’s only a single part of the fundraising necessary for the project, knowing that it was approved “is pretty amazing,” she said.

Webcam Adjustments
Any of you who are taking the occasional look at our webcam on Baldy Mountain in Breckenridge, Colorado, may have noticed some changes. Last week we changed the camera exposure setting from fixed to automatic in an effort to prolong the time that there is a viewable image. In the morning and evening we were getting an all black image even though there was still light on the mountain. We seem to have accomplished our goal at the slight expense of getting some wider exposure swings during the day as clouds roll by. One more problem we experienced was icing on the protective case which blocked our image until the sun burned it off. We’re curious as to the effects of the snow once winter really sets in.

First Post from SPRTV
This is the first post from Summit Public Radio & TV. We will provide general information regarding our operations. As you might be aware, we face many challenges keeping seven radio stations and three tv station on the air, especially since our electronics site is atop Baldy Mountain and winter weather makes access a problem. However, we have a hard working Board and a wonderful group of Supporting Members, all dedicated to keeping Summit Public Radio’s stations on the air.
