Amplifying the Aleutians for 50 years: a history of community media in Unalaska
Our signals first went live in 1974, and we became an independent nonprofit in 1984. Since our earliest broadcasts, we’ve offered front-row seats to important news and cultural stories in the region.
This series tells the station's history from some of the people who helped build our organization into what it is today.
