“YOURS FOR WESTERN ALASKA”

(907) 443-5221

Sun, Sun, Sun

The sun hangs low over the Nome port, past midnight on a June evening.

Summertime brings to KNOM country the endless sunlight for which Alaska is famous. On the summer solstice, the sun will shine above Nome’s horizon for nearly 22 hours.

Christ’s Light in the Darkness

Davis, Lauren, Margaret, Tyler, and Karen stand in front of their retreat cabin.

Christmastime in rural Alaska is accentuated by the winter solstice, when days begin to brighten. KNOM programming reflects this time of birth, hope, and light, too.

Here comes the sun – a lot of it

Watch at midnight

Even for seasoned Alaskans, it still has the potential to dazzle: as you read these words, Nome is experiencing the peak of our summer’s midnight sun.
