Our Values:
FRIEND & COMPANION
We’re here: Ready to visit about current events over breakfast, jam out to your favorite tunes, and be with you for Mass on Sunday.
RESPECTFUL SERVICE
We aim to inform, engage, and inspire. We hope you enjoy our diverse programming of news, hotlines, music, Alaska Native stories and voices, and more.
CATHOLIC IDEALS
A faithful radio friend. In a region with few priests, KNOM broadcasts Sunday Mass, prayer and messages of faith and inspiration throughout the day.
Mission Statement:
ENCOUNTERING CHRIST
In a region where Sunday Mass celebrations are rare, the weekly radio Mass, the evening Rosary and Divine Mercy prayers, and inspirational spots are programming cornerstones.
KNOM aims to be a friendly, helpful voice in listeners’ everyday lives. The underlying message says, “You are loved by God.” “You matter.” “You can accomplish your goals – and God is with you.”
EMBRACING CULTURE
KNOM creates programming that highlights the strength, depth, beauty, and history of Western Alaska.
Programs like “Elder Voices,” special features, Native music, and Native language and tradition spots are integral parts of the broadcast day – a reflection of community.
EMPOWERING GROWTH
Transformation happens with an invested long-term presence that can empower growth: individually, in community, regionally, and statewide.
As a learning institution, many KNOM reporters and producers have gone on to be leaders in their fields. KNOM’s programming amplifies growth by sharing stories of hope, courage, and resiliency in Western Alaska.
ENGAGING THE LISTENER
On the air, listeners serve as companions for the person announcing. Listeners can tune in for live events, submit hotline messages to friends and family, or call in with special song requests.
Current events, relevant programs and interviews, inspiring messages, weather and ocean updates, and upbeat tunes keep people tuning in.
