(PBS) member non-commercial educational
Public television station in Colorado
. It reaches one million viewers in Colorado, Wyoming

station owned by the Denver Public Schools
, with University of Denver
instructor Jim Case as program director. It is the oldest public television station in the Rockies
. Its studio was located in a converted body shop at the Emily Griffith Opportunity School
in downtown Denver. Originally a member of National Educational Television
, it joined PBS in 1969.
Originally broadcasting only two hours of programming a day during the week, KRMA soon became a key PBS member, bringing PBS programming to many areas that didn't have stations of their own. From the 1960s onward, it began building translators across Colorado and surrounding states. It was also picked up by nearly every cable television
system in Colorado and eastern Wyoming. Denver Public Schools sold KRMA to Channel Six, Inc., a community group, in 1987.
In response to requests from viewers on the Western Slope
, KRMA applied for and won a construction permit for channel 18 in Grand Junction
in August 1995. That station signed on for the first time in August 1997 as KRMJ. In 1999, KTSC, channel 8 in Pueblo
joined the network. Formerly owned by Colorado State University - Pueblo
, KTSC had been the PBS station for Pueblo and Colorado Springs since 1971.
On December 3, 2004 KRMU, channel 20, in Durango, Colorado
signed on to serve southwestern Colorado and a small portion of northwestern New Mexico. When KRMU received its license in 2001, it was the nation's first digital television station without a prior analog assignment.
On February 2, 2007, Rocky Mountain PBS added its fifth full-service station and second station in western Colorado--KMAS-TV, channel 24 in Steamboat Springs
. KMAS had been Denver's Telemundo
station, and brought its programming into Denver itself by way of low-powered satellites. However, its status was placed in doubt when NBC
purchased KDEN-TV and moved Telemundo programming there. NBC finally decided to donate KMAS to Rocky Mountain PBS rather than shut it down. On September 4, 2007, the station's call letters were changed to KRMZ, reflecting its identity as a Rocky Mountain PBS station.
KRMJ and KTSC maintain their own studios at Western Colorado Community College
in Grand Junction and CSU-Pueblo, respectively. The satellites occasionally break away from the master control center at KRMA to provide programming targeted for their communities, and each airs local promotions and underwriting. KRMU and KRMZ, however, are full satellites of KRMJ and KRMA, respectively. Citing costs at each station, Rocky Mountain PBS applied for and received waivers of the FCC's main studio rule, which requires that each full-service station maintain a main studio within its local service area.
Rocky Mountain PBS is not affiliated with the other PBS member in Denver, KBDI-TV
. KBDI is a "beta" or secondary PBS station serving the same market.
Notes:

. Most of the translators directly repeat KRMA, though several are assigned to the other stations. Also, some of these translators assigned to KRMA may be located in a city or market where another full-powered RMPBS station is located (such as in Grand Junction or Colorado Springs).
