KBFR (95.3 FM), also known as Boulder Free Radio, was a pirate radio (unlicensed, underground) station broadcasting from Boulder, Colorado, United States.

History

Boulder Free Radio operated from March 2000 to January 2005 at 95.3 FM. Its power is similar to an LPFM station, approx 150 watts.

KBFR was founded by a pirate radio operator calling himself Monk.[1] Monk still maintains an occasionally updated blog about KBFR and pirate radio called Courage, Truth & Booty.
