DENVER – Sept. 20, 2018 – Hold on please! Kim Christiansen, KUSA 9News anchor, and Denver sports announcer Alan Roach are the official voices of the Denver International Airport “Train Call,” with the permanent announcements now live on the train between the concourses and terminal.
Christiansen and Roach were selected to be the “Voices of DEN” after more than 75,000 people voted in an online poll earlier this year. The voices of the Train Call have become a well-known fixture of the airport. Christiansen replaces former KUSA 9News anchor Adele Arakawa who was the previous female voice since 2007. Through the contest, Roach was selected to continue as the male voice of the DEN train.
The Train Call includes operational messages such as where to board, which concourse passengers have arrived at and when to exit. As part of the new recordings, some of the messages have been refreshed, but the iconic musical jingles remain the same.
Most notable of the changes is the removal of the infamous message, “You are delaying the departure of this train,” which has now been replaced with a gentler line, “Please keep clear of the doors as this train is departing.”
The airport has memorialized the previous message and those who enjoyed it can now download it as a ringtone, along with two of the new messages from Roach and Christiansen. The ringtones can be downloaded here.
DEN’s train to the gates transports an average of 100,000 passengers daily and makes about 120 round trips per day. Each train car travels about 200 miles a day. Currently, the train has 31 total train cars. As part of the DEN Capital Improvement Plan, 26 new train cars will come on line in 2020, replacing the 16 oldest train cars and adding 10 new cars to the fleet.
Denver International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world. DEN is the primary economic engine for the state of Colorado, generating more than $36 billion for the region annually.
