When we left off, the Unalaska City School District was looking at new ways to manage the local television station. One of their ideas was transferring ownership to the City of Unalaska, and in 1980, the city started running the show.

In the fourth episode of "Amplifying the Aleutians," we take a look at the early years of local media when it was managed by the City of Unalaska's Parks, Culture, and Recreation Department.

Our guests include Andy Brown and Tim Perry.
