Denver Radio Icon Ginger Announces Retirement From KBCO

Ginger

iHeartMedia Rock KBCO/Denver has announced the retirement of Ginger from middays. Her last day on-air will be Saturday, December 31. Ginger has flourished as a companion for radio listeners in the Denver area for 40 years, introducing listeners to countless new songs and artists, while sharing her personal perspective on everything that impacted the Denver community, including cultural events, the beauty of the natural environment, entertainment and music.

"Since 1988, I've hosted hundreds of live sessions in KBCO Studio C and interviewed so many talented musicians," said Ginger. "I had the wonderful opportunity to be among the first to interview artists like Jack Johnson, Sheryl Crow and Brandi Carlile early in their careers. As a self-proclaimed Beatlemaniac, my most cherished career moment was interviewing Paul McCartney backstage at Folsom Field in 1993. What I valued most about my years on the air at KBCO was sharing and connecting with our audience. I recently had a listener say that 'you are us,' which meant so much, as I always wanted to be a friend on the other side of the speaker."
