Thank you to all KUAC fans and supporters who joined us at our poster-signing event at Well Street Art Company last Saturday, March 2nd and made a gift to kick off our TV Spring Fundraiser! It was a fun day, as the photos on our Facebook page show. Thanks to all the great volunteers who pitched in and to Bobbi at River City Café & Espresso for bringing in the best baked goodies to make the party perfect!

Even if you missed the celebration, a limited number of posters are still available — go online to kuac.org or call 1-800-393-8539 – and thank you for helping to keep public television programming in Interior Alaska strong.

Do you have what it takes to volunteer as an on-air host for KUAC FM and add your voice to our airwaves? Find out at an orientation session, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 2nd and 3rd at 6:30pm. Sign up for the two-part orientation: email lori@kuac.org or call 474-7491.

Sesame Street’s YouTube Channel is the first nonprofit (and first US children’s company) to reach one billion channel views on YouTube! Count Von Count is very excited, so he put together this song for YOU — “Counting the You’s in YouTube!” KUAC celebrates this amazing milestone and thanks YOU for your support of our mission to educate every generation! Please donate to KUAC TV’s Spring Fundraiser online at kuac.org or call 1-800-393-8539. Thank-you gift options include the 30th edition KUAC Poster and a set of Sesame Street plush “Gund” characters.

KUAC TV’s translator broadcasting in Healy is not functioning and, because of the remote location, repairs can’t begin until spring. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to restore service as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience.

When KUAC received a gift from Fred Child of Minnesota, we had to ask –THE Fred Child, host of Performance Today, heard weekday mornings on KUAC FM? Turns out, YES! His gift was inspired by “a little winter get-away” to the Interior of Alaska which included exploring Angel Rocks, Denali National Park, burgers and brew at Silver Gulch, and aurora hunting in North Pole. “All of which meant a fair amount of driving, and I had the radio locked onto 89.9 the entire 4-day weekend. I loved it!” Fred told us.

Thanks to Fred, and all our supporters, who make it possible for KUAC to offer programs with passionate, knowledgeable hosts to uphold our mission to present performances that would otherwise be inaccessible.

KUAC’s three fully scheduled digital radio channels are now available over-the-air. In addition to KUAC 89.9 FM in a high quality digital signal for KUAC, listeners can enjoy two new KUAC channels, KUAC2 and KUAC3 when tuned in with a digital radio as well as online via web streaming at kuac.org.
