The Telluride Daily Planet newspaper shares local news, business updates, and event details, keeping everyone in the loop. KOTO, a community-supported radio station since 1975, broadcasts music, news, and local voices, with volunteer DJs strengthening community ties.

Support Organizations

The Telluride Tourism Board and Chamber of Commerce promote Telluride as a four-season destination and provide small businesses with marketing and networking support.

Resident Support

The Telluride Foundation funds nonprofits for education, health, and arts, while affordable housing programs and free transit, like the gondola, make it easier for locals to live and work year-round.
