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.

POWER OUT at the SITE!!
This morning, December 31, 2011, the power went out at the site. We are monitoring the situation and will keep you informed. Our power originates from a neighborhood at the base of Baldy and that’s where the problem is.
The SCAlert system and Summit Daily News have reported widespread power outages throughout the Breckenridge area today due to very high winds. Summit County remains under a high wind warning until 5 pm, Dec 31.
Webcam on Baldy Mountain Down
Our webcam on Baldy Mountain is down and is not transmitting images to our website. Today, we verified that the problem is being caused by an Internet outage. We have been in touch with our ISP and they assured us they are aware of the problem and are doing everything possible to correct it. We apologize for the inconvenience and hopefully withing the next few days you can once again be enjoying our beautiful sunrises and sunsets as viewed from 12,600 feet.
