Giraffe:
1) a large African mammal with a very long neck and forelegs, having a coat patterned with brown patches separated by lighter lines. It is the tallest living animal.
2) a great radio station in Alamosa, Colorado featuring the hits of the 80s, 90s & today. You’ll also hear local sports, news and topical happenings on our live broadcasts. You can also keep up with the farm and ranch markets several times a day with Evan Slack. (See the Programming page for more info.)
The Giraffe (KGIW 1450 AM ) wants to make a trade… Here’s the deal. Bring us a giraffe and we’ll give you a free mouse (pad) in exchange. What kind of giraffe? Well, how about something with giraffe spots on it? Or maybe a picture of a giraffe, or a stuffed toy giraffe? Use your imagination. Just drop off your giraffe at our studio location at 292 Santa Fe Avenue in Alamosa (across from the Rio Grande Inn) during our normal business hours of 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday (we take a lunch from noon to 1) and we’ll give you a cool mouse pad. Thank you for helping us grow our Giraffe collection!
