This source cluster supports a bounded map of Salem Media's national and Colorado reach, plus cautious treatment of election-narrative and Seven Mountains / Ziklag leads. It uses Salem official pages, Salem investor-relations releases, existing Colorado Times Recorder captures, and the existing Seven Mountains source-cluster synthesis.

This cluster is strong for reach and specific election-narrative episodes, but weak for proving ideological membership or donor-network ties. A future pass should use FCC station ownership / public-file records, political files, archived station schedules, and a content-sample methodology before making broader claims about Colorado election-narrative amplification.
