About Us

Colorado and Company will celebrate our 8th anniversary on September 13, 2012!!!

Colorado & Company or "COCO" is a local magazine-style show that airs live in Denver and across Colorado on Channel 9, KUSA-TV from 10-11am on weekdays. Some segments are purchased by commercial companies while others feature local community organizations, entertainers, chefs, community leaders, authors and perhaps even your neighbor!

We are proud of the two Regional Emmy Awards hosts Denise Plante and Tawnya Rush have received and so both hold COCO Emmys! Our graphics designer Jason Hirsch also won an Emmy for the graphic look on our show making COCO three Emmys strong.

Colorado & Company is the place to learn about our state's best companies, the services and products they offer and the people behind them. You'll see a variety of people who have made Colorado the best place to live in the country.

You can also learn about the people behind Colorado's community groups, the events they organize and how you can be involved in your own community.

Watch for great recipes from gourmet restaurants and kitchens across Colorado. Tawnya Rush also offers unique kitchen features every Thursday in her "Meals in a Rush" segment.

Catch up with authors to hear the story behind the stories they tell. And we always try to get some of your favorite entertainers into the studio so you can meet them up close and personal. Denise Plante is connected with entertainment guests from around the country as morning host on KOSI 101.1 FM. Those guests sometimes make their way to the COCO studio for an interview.
