Digital studios, taking shape
As work continues on the Tom and Florence Busch Digital Studios, our studio annex is beginning to look like… well, an actual studio! The photos above and below – including general manager Ric Schmidt, reviewing blueprints – show our new studio walls now covered in sheetrock, ready for soundproofing materials. Our studio room doors are […]
Our digital studios, a few steps closer to air time
We’re committed to the major renovation and expansion project currently underway at our studios; thanks to you, the project has taken major steps forward in the past few months.
A New Year’s studio update
Our construction crew continues to make progress, and with your support, our digital studios will likely become operational sometime later this year.
A Step Forward for Our Studio
Just before Thanksgiving, we received great news for our digital studios renovation project. The Rasmuson Foundation – a supporter of non-profit causes throughout Alaska – has awarded our mission a $50,000 grant for the construction and outfitting of our new studio space. The grant is matching, which means that we’ll receive the Rasmuson funds after […]

Many times, however, chunks of ice on the shore of the Bering Sea remain well into June, blowing out to sea only as the summer solstice looms. KNOM keeps listeners […]
