KUNC 91.5 is currently off the air due to the High Park Wildfire in Larimer County. 

Here's their blog for updates.

Also, two other stations KJAC 105.5 Jack FM and KYEN 103.9   is also off the air due to the wildfire.

KUNC's 91.7 translator on Lookout is still on.  It would be interesting to know how the signal is being fed to it since it should be picked up off the air.

Says who? As a translator of a noncommercial station operating in the noncommercial band, it is under no restriction as to delivery method.

Ahh, you're right.  I didn't think about their non-comm status.  The main signal is back on at reduced power.  I can pick them up in the car, but the translator has a stronger signal.  KJAC is still off.

For being low power folks, KUNC does come in loud and clear though.

Now for an update..
Both Jack and KYEN's Transmitter is still without power, but GRU had a backup plan for KYEN, thus you can now stream KYEN online online. So if you miss that station it is only available streaming for now.

It looks like KJAC went back on the air about a week ago; see http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/107415/in-the-middle-of-the-colorado-fires-kjac-comes-bac and http://radiomagonline.com/currents/business/kjac-fm_denver_returns_to_air_after_forest_fire_0621.

Thanks to Clear CHannel, now tune to it and it won't sound right at all! Now that power is restore to Buckhorn Mountain, I would think they can turn off that uplink and start to use the Transmitter.
