Improving life in rural Alaska often involves many small solutions put together. Volunteer Gabe Colombo, just back from a reporting trip in Unalakleet, shares his story of how the remote community is using renewable energy — especially wind power and solar panels — to reduce their astronomical energy costs.

In Alaska, the arrival of March means the epic Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is close to follow. It’s the capstone event of the four-months-long “race season” that captivates and fascinates listeners in Western Alaska. Through your support, KNOM brings details of these cherished races to listeners.

A Letter from KNOM’s Board President

In February, our board of directors refined KNOM’s statement of mission: through compelling radio, KNOM Radio serves Western Alaska by encountering Christ, embracing culture, empowering growth and engaging the listener. KNOM Board President Dennis Bookey explains more in a special letter.

From the GM’s Desk (March 2018)

“The invitation to encounter Christ each day in the voices on the air is only made possible by your love and support,” Margaret DeMaioribus writes in the end-note to KNOM’s March newsletter.
