The KUAC TV translator located east of Healy is off the air. Engineers are working to repair and return the site to air as soon as possible. Due to the age of the existing equipment and the cost to replace it, the translator might be off-line for several weeks before service can be restored.

The FM translator is also experiencing some issues at times, and solutions are being explored. Thank you for your patience while we work to improve your public broadcasting services.

Dr. Seuss’ landmark book “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!” premiered on AlaskaOne television on Monday, September 6th. Sally and Nick join the mischievous, lanky cat in a red and white striped hat for adventures in science and nature, where they discover how bees make honey to why owls sleep during the day all while encouraging preschoolers to learn to read.

“The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That” will air weekdays 7:30 a.m. with a rebroadcast at 1:30 p.m. as well as on Saturdays at 6:30 a.m. Get in on the fun on AlaskaOne Channel 9.1 in the Interior, starting with the Labor Day double-episode debut.

The change of seasons signals many exciting opportunities, including the new fall PBS KIDS television line-up on AlaskaOne. Several new PBS KIDS shows add to the spectacular and most-trusted children’s television programming available, including “The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That!” and “Angelina Ballerina.” Due to broadcast rights expiring, PBS will no longer carry “Dragon Tales.” The only math-based series on American television, “Cyberchase,” returns to our lineup daily, Mon-Fri at 2 p.m. replacing “Maya & Miguel” while “Bob the Builder” leaves the Saturday lineups.
