KGLR, "Green Light Radio" (95.3 FM) is a pirate radio station (i.e., is unlicensed) serving the community of Boulder, Colorado. The station is not owned and is maintained by a collective of enthusiasts. It airs a wide variety of music genres.

The station was not assigned the KGLR call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The station broadcasts on-air, and simultaneously online, only during the hours of 4pm to 4am during the week and all weekend, so as not to conflict with licensed radio stations more valuable commercial time. When the station goes "off-air", it usually still streams online.

The station has been investigated by the FCC actively since the stations initial broadcasts. In May-June of 2009, the FCC became increasingly aggressive in their attempts to abolish pirate radio in Boulder.

Section 303(n) of the Communications Act of 1934, gives the Federal Communications Commission the "authority to inspect all radio installations associated with stations required to be licensed by any Act...". Under FCC rules, KGLR is required to be licensed. The station contests the government's blanket authority to control the airwaves and their seemingly unrestricted "rights" to inspect a location that they believe to be broadcasting, even a without a search warrant.
