KFFQ was a short-lived Colorado Springs radio station operated by Marksheffel Motor Co. Federal chronology records its licensing in February 1923, and the Department of Commerce’s June 1923 station list identifies the station and operator. A March 1923 issue of E-Z Radio lists KFFQ at 10 watts. Federal chronology later records the station among those deleted by 1924.
History
KFFQ’s documented operation coincided with the rapid growth of licensed broadcasting in Colorado. The available sources establish its operator, community, low power, and short license history. They do not provide a verified studio address, program schedule, or exact final broadcast date.
