Heads up SE AK, we are currently tracking a series of snow showers currently near the Sitka area moving into the Icy Strait corridor, including Hoonah, Gustavus, Pelican, Juneau. Sitka is expected to be hit the hardest by these snow showers, and therefore the winter weather advisory moved up to begin now with snow accumulations of 6-11 inches throughout the event. These snow showers are NOT the main front moving in and are expected to be mostly short lived. The main snow event is still expected to move in late tonight.

Thank you for welcoming us into your cars, homes, and workplaces every day. We’re proud to be part of this community and grateful for the trust you place in us to inform, entertain, and bring us together.

This season is about connection, kindness, and looking out for one another, values that run deep here in Southeast Alaska. From our radio family to yours, we wish you a warm, peaceful Christmas and a safe, joyful holiday season.

Small Business Saturday hits differently in Southeast Alaska.
These shops aren’t just places we buy things, they’re owned by our neighbors, our friends, the people standing next to us at the rink, the grocery store, the parade, the food drive.

When you spend a few dollars here, it stays here.
It pays a local employee.
It keeps a dream alive.
It helps a family put dinner on the table.
It keeps the lights on for the businesses that keep our community vibrant and strong.

Look Local First.
Because when we support local businesses, we’re investing in the heart of Sitka and building the kind of community we’re proud to call home.

Happy Small Business Saturday, Sitka. Let’s show up for each other.

This summer in Southeast Alaska? Let’s just say Mother Nature forgot to send the memo. So, we’re giving you a Second Summer with Alaska Airlines! Congratulations to Sherill Baxter! Sherill wins four tickets from Alaska Airlines to trade rain for rays!

Congratulations to Sara! Our grand prize Double your Dividend winner!

✨Happy 4th of July!
As we gather to celebrate our Nation's independence, let's take a moment to reflect on the values that make America truly remarkable: freedom, unity, and the pursuit of happiness. Whether you're enjoying a BBQ with family, watching fireworks light up the sky, or simply appreciating the day, let's
honor the spirit of liberty that connects us all.
Here's to the land of the free and the home of the brave. Have a safe and joyous Independence Day!

Over the past few weeks, our Chief Engineer, Scott Mills, has been on-site, completing critical transmitter work. We’re pleased to report that all transmission issues have been fully resolved.

We want to sincerely thank our listeners, advertisers, and business community for your patience and continued trust as we’ve worked through these improvements.
