Wow,in the mid sixties I basically lived to raid their dumpsters for literally thousands of spent and unopened lps,45s,and reel to reel tapes,plus my Dad owned the Chuck Wagon in colfax,the juke box man gave me all the juke box records,great times
Kevin - KIMN broadcast from about a block east of Sloan’s Lake on 20th Ave next to Kenny Marine, right? My dad & I ate at Davie’s Chuck Wagon a LOT in the late ‘70s!
Me too, transistors were cool.nobody heard of a walkman at Radio Shack,jinn was in front of Arlan's,Wal Mart of the 60s.there was a drive in there two.
Now most radio stations are shells of their former glory and influence. They're not integrated in the region so much any more. Many are primarily rebroadcasting syndicated shows and music as de facto repeater stations.
I grew up in Colorado Springs during an era well chronicled by the movie American Graffiti. Cruising around in our first cars, we couldn't wait for the evening airwave "skip" to come in. It meant listening to KIMN until we headed home in the wee hours. I will never forget the night Jay Mack told his listeners that he loved to cook, particularly chocolate cakes because they hid the dirt better. We were laughing so hard I nearly wrecked. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories!🎶🎵
Serving on a WW2 LST (Landing Ship, Tank) in Viet Nam back in '66/'67, we loved chocolate cake, too, because we couldn't see the flour weevils in it...Loved Jay Mack.
I'm also a fan of KIMN and a Baby Boomer, as well as a guy from the movie, "Boogie Nights". Yeah, one of those. It's a pity that KIMN expired years ago, but at least they were at their peak.
Started listening to KIMN in the late '50s, I remember when they played 'Tom Dooley' nonstop for I can't remember how long...Favorite DJ by a mile was Jay Mack (RIP)
He'll yeah!! I loved KIMN as a kid. It was priceless. Between episodes of Chicken Man, the Ayatollah of Rockin Rolla, Steve Kelley it was,cool as cool could be.
I loved this station! We got it in Colorado Springs, too, although not as well at night, but it didn't stop us from getting whatever signal we could. I even listened up through 1975 while going to college in Greeley, and only quit when I left the area to move to another state with a teaching job.
As a Denver native, I grew up listening to KIMN Radio in the 1960’s and 70’s. Great music! Great memories!

I hope you're protecting your treasures safe. And importantly, you should have all your treasure INSURED.
I remember being about 12 years old, doing my homework and listening to KIMN on my transistor radio. I heard the Beatles for the first time on KIMN.
Me too, transistors were cool.nobody heard of a walkman at Radio Shack,jinn was in front of Arlan's,Wal Mart of the 60s.there was a drive in there two.
Thanks for all your efforts in sharing this history of this one-time Top 40 powerhouse.
Listened to them in Cheyenne, Wyoming every day in the late 60's and the 70's they were awesome.
Great memories!!

I remember when I was a teenager picking up the station around midnight from Drummond Island Michigan

I remember Steve Kelly sitting in every seat at Mile Hi stadium! Thanks for the memories.
