If you stumbled on KOA’s Colorado’s Morning News (CMN) over the past eight years and you were expecting a right-wing rant or slant from its hosts, you would have been wrong. Marty Lenz co-anchored the morning news slot from 5 a.m. to 9 a.m. from 2018 to October of 2025 with a gentle and persistent even-handedness that won him admirers across the political spectrum. He tracked political issues closely and asked the questions that officials needed to answer. And his wide interests and knowledge of Denver enabled him to bring in entertaining and relevant guests to talk about cultural happenings and more.
