Public radio in Alaska is different.
It’s more than classical music and off-beat news stories…much more. Public radio in Alaska serves listeners of different ages, religions, genders and ethnicities – bridging language and distance barriers to connect the America’s largest state to its nation and to the outside world. From fishing updates and weather reports to music, news and, of course, high school basketball, KSDP serves its listeners with 1,000 watts on 830 AM KSDP in Sand Point and on repeater station 88.1FM K201DA in King Cove.
Public radio in Southwest Alaska is made possible by the support of generous underwriters who understand the value of public radio – and who support its service to listeners across the Greatland.
