Our extended family

The cold temperatures and snow have created a frozen wonderland across the tundra and the icy Bering Sea. With about 4 hours of daylight, the horizon is colored with reds and oranges that dazzle. Winter is amazing!

Looking back at 2012, we have seen so many people work to keep KNOM radio a vital mission! Please know that thousands of listeners spread out over 100,000 square miles appreciate the work of the entire KNOM family. They make our ministry possible. We are truly blessed!

Last week a listener called with a simple message, “Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for everyone at KNOM.”

For KNOM listeners, during the hardest times in their lives, the KNOM family is there to help and make a positive difference. Happy New Year!
