Face the State is best known for its right-leaning website, which churns out new and typically credible content on a daily basis. For instance, among FTS’ latest posts is an item about state rep Cory Gardner, a possible rival to Congresswoman Betsy Markey, who’s hosting healthcare town halls while she’s out of the country. But the operation also supplements its new-media platform with an old-media feature: Face the State Radio, which regularly produces one-minute items and a weekend edition. The number of stations carrying this programming continues to expand. The latest to sign up: KEXO in Grand Junction and KVRH in Salida, bringing FTS’ total stations to eight.
“Especially in the case of KVRH, community-focused radio is the only hope for AM talk making it through the recession in profitable fashion,” notes FTS chieftain Brad Jones, the voice of the radio offerings, via e-mail. “Our programs help stations bring locally relevant content to listeners at no additional cost.”
In addition, they help spread Face the State’s message. Which is, of course, the point.

If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
