Jann / Scott’s Journal
Boulder, Colorado – Spring 2026 As I sit here in my Boulder studio looking out at the Flatirons under a clear March sky, I can’t help but reflect on the path that brought me here. I’ve called Boulder home since 1974, arriving as a young journalist ready to make my mark in this vibrant mountain town.

My broadcasting journey truly took root in the late 1970s. I owned the Boulder Times newspaper from 1979 to 1980, diving deep into local stories and community life. By 1987, I launched “Jann Scott Live” on radio, hosting talk shows that gave voice to everyday concerns and big ideas alike. In 1989, I expanded to television with “Jann Scott Tonight,” a program that’s continued in various forms ever since—now streaming on Channel 1 Networks, the company I founded and still run as CEO.

Over these 40-plus years, I’ve hosted thousands of hours of live talk—news, interviews, satire, comedy, and straight-up conversation. From Route 66 travel series in the ’90s and early 2000s to today’s digital streams, the goal has remained the same: cut through the noise and speak plainly. People here have called me Boulder’s voice of common sense, and I’ll take that as the highest compliment. In a place known for its progressive spirit and outdoor ethos, I’ve aimed to remind folks of practical realities, shared values, and the humanity that binds us all.

There have been highs—building Channel 1 from the ground up, connecting with viewers who tune in for unfiltered views—and challenges, like navigating media shifts and economic pressures in local journalism. Through it all, Boulder has been my anchor. I’ve watched the city grow, seen friends come and go, and stayed committed to honest dialogue.

At this stage, with spring bringing longer days and renewed energy, I’m grateful for the trust viewers have placed in me. Whether discussing drought conditions, community events, or life’s absurdities, I keep showing up because conversation matters. It’s what keeps us human.Here’s to many more years of talking it out—together.Jann Scott
