Faith, Education, & Nutrition
Recent visitors to KNOM have brought fresh nourishment for body, soul, and mind — for listeners and staffers alike.
Passing the Baton
As KNOM says goodbye to its 2017-2018 class of volunteer fellows — Karen Trop, Gabe Colombo, and Zoe Grueskin — we’re also happy to introduce the first member of the class of 2018-2019, Emily Hofstaedter.
Camaraderie and Culture
If you ask a Western Alaska school-aged child to name their favorite sport, the most common response will likely be “Native Youth Olympics,” or NYO. The games aren’t just a way for students to compete and develop athletic skills; they’re also a means for youth to connect to subsistence culture and learn to support each other.
Young Broadcasters of the BSSD
The student broadcasters of the Bering Strait School District go above and beyond to bring local, beloved sporting events to their region. Their story made it to KNOM listeners through your support.
Teaching Service
Part of KNOM’s mission is to bring inspiration and education to Western Alaska. Sometimes, the station’s volunteers get to do so in person. Second-year volunteer Karen Trop has felt “blessed,” she says, to be able to work with youth through her service at KNOM.
A Year of Being a “Friend” and “Companion”
This month marks the finale for KNOM’s 2016-2017 volunteer class, whose outstanding service your support has made possible.
Fast Sleds on the Sea Ice
A blisteringly fast and frenzied snowmachine race captures the interest of Western Alaska listeners each March. Through your support, KNOM’s live radio broadcasts rally the region, enlivening the race for remote listeners cheering on loved ones.
Programming and News, By the Numbers
Through your support, inspiration, education, and news remain the focus of our daily work, as they have been since 1971. Thousands of times each year, KNOM’s broadcasts carry snapshots of our region: of its culture and heritage, its local news and stories, and its faith.
Digital Studios: Operational!
In recent weeks, it’s been a tale of two studios at KNOM. As our brand-new, digital studios have become fully operational, our existing studio rooms have been getting a facelift.
Meet Our ‘16-17 Producers
We’re excited to introduce to you Karen Trop and Lauren Frost, the producers of our 2016-2017 class of KNOM volunteers.
