Radio
Due to our remote, mountainous terrain, broadcast of radio stations emanates from a translator site operated by the Town of Lake City and located on Round Top mountain located just south of town.
Radio stations broadcast from the Town's site are: KVNF 88.7, public radio from Paonia, Colorado; KVLE 92.5 from Gunnison; and KJYE 106.3 from Grand Junction.
Television
Over-the-air television broadcasts have ceased as of February 2009 due to our regional stations converting to digital signals, which will no longer reach as far as Lake City.
Cable TV is available from Rocky Mountain Cable out of Pagosa Springs. They can be reached at 970-731-2211 or 800-222-1332. Their web site is www.rockymtncable.com.
Satellite TV is available from Dish 888-825-2557 or DirecTV 888-777-2454.

WiFi is available for no charge at the Lake City Public Library and the DIRT office located at the Miners and Merchants Bank building; the signals reach outside of the buildings so you can pick up the signal on the boardwalk and in the Town Park. The library also has computer terminals with free internet access, but availability is very
limited during the summer due to visitor demand.
