Sign and show your support for public broadcasting. Help us tell our leaders that in Alaska, NPR-affiliated public radio stations are not just sources of news—they are vital communication lifelines.
This is especially in remote communities where other forms of media and infrastructure can be unreliable. Many rural areas lack consistent internet or cell service, making radio the most dependable and accessible way for residents to receive timely information. Stations like KYUK in Bethel and KOTZ in Kotzebue broadcast in Native languages and provide essential services such as weather alerts, emergency notifications, school closings, subsistence hunting and fishing updates, and community announcements. These stations help bridge vast geographic distances and keep communities informed, connected, and safe—particularly during natural disasters or extreme weather events.
