KGRE-FM is a commercial radio station located in Estes Park, Colorado, broadcasting to the Ft. Collins, Colorado area on 102.1 FM. KGRE-FM airs a Regional Mexican music format branded as El Tigre, simulcasting KGRE 1450 AM Greeley, Colorado.

Prior to targeting the Estes Park market, 102.1 made several failed attempts to serve the Denver metro area. In 2000, the station, which until that point had been a local Estes Park station known as "102.1 K-Rocky" (KRKI), flipped to Top 40 as "U102" under new calls KXUU. The Top 40 format lasted only a few weeks and quickly gave way to Rhythmic CHR under the same name, largely due to new competition from cross-town KFMD 95.7 ("Kiss FM"). The station then morphed into Urban AC, again as "U102," before scrapping the concept in favor of a Dance format as "102-1X" (KXDC). KXDC, in turn, gave way to a satellite-fed Classic Country format known as "102-1 Thunder Country." Following the purchase of Colorado Springs Country outlet KKCS-FM 101.9, 102.1 assumed a simulcast of that station, which remained on the air until nearby KJEB 102.3 (now KVOQ-FM) completed its move into the Denver market and obliterated the more distant 102.1 signal.
