Colorado Public Radio hires Dana Meyers as a new host at KVOQ-FM (Indie 102.3) in Denver, effective January 3. She joins after a 23-year career in radio, most recently with WZBA in Baltimore as a host and Production Director. Meyers, a native of Boulder, CO relocated to the East Coast and interned for WHFS in Washington, DC, working her way up to a host and Production Director, then hosting afternoons when the station was relaunched in Baltimore. She then joined the inaugural on-air staff of WSFS/Miami as afternoon host and hosted mornings at WXNX in Fort Myers.

"I am very excited to welcome Dana back to Colorado and to our Indie 102.3 air staff," said Indie 102.3 Program Director Willobee Carlan. "I have been a fan of her work for many years. Dana brings extensive programming and on air experience. I know Indie 102.3 listeners will give her a warm welcome."

"We are delighted to welcome Dana to Indie 102.3, but at the same time, we are saying goodbye to morning host Jeremy Petersen, who left Colorado during the pandemic," added Senior Vice President of Content Sean Nethery. "We are grateful to Jeremy for providing terrific hosting from afar during that unprecedented time. Now that things are mostly back to normal, hosts need to be members of the Colorado community, attending events, interviewing musicians in our onsite performance studio and more."

Petersen joined Colorado Public Radio in 2015 as a morning host on OpenAir, now Indie 102.3. For the last seven years, he accompanied listeners in the morning with his music knowledge and features such as "Cover with your Coffee." He penned the weekly Inside Track newsletter with local music news, videos and concert information, and curated a monthly "Waking Life" playlist of new music. He conducted numerous interviews with artists over the years, including Nathaniel Rateliff, Jade Bird and Johnny Marr.
