The next time you鈥檙e traveling through Denver, longtime Colorado news anchor Kim Christiansen will be among the first to welcome you to the Mile High City.
Odds are good you鈥檝e heard 鈥淭he Voice鈥� reprimanding stragglers squeezing through the closing doors of Denver International Airport鈥檚 gate train:
鈥淵ou are delaying the departure of this train.鈥�
Riding it is unavoidable for most of the airport鈥檚 travelers鈥�61 million of them in 2017. Their volume makes听Kim Christiansen听(Jour鈥�84) nervous.
Last February, Christiansen, lead anchor for Denver鈥檚 9News broadcast station, won the airport鈥檚 contest to become the train鈥檚 new female voice, replacing her former 9News colleague Adele Arakawa, who moved to Tucson.
鈥淚t鈥檚 the most flattering, humbling, exciting thing,鈥� said Christiansen, who is paired with Alan Roach, the former Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies announcer who has been the train鈥檚 male voice since 2007.
Christiansen鈥檚 recordings began playing in September.
