CoastAlaska
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CoastAlaska is an umbrella public radio network for five Southeast Alaskan public radio stations: KRBD, Ketchikan; KSTK, Wrangell; KTOO, Juneau; KFSK, Petersburg; and KCAW, Sitka.
In the 90s, when government funding for public radio was decreasing, the radio stations of Southeast Alaska banded together in an effort to save costs by merging accounting and payroll operations as well as collaboratively funding engineers for miscellaneous technology and trasnsmitter maintenance as opposed to each station hiring their own engineer. In addition to these services, it also serves as a network to share news stories between news departments throughout Southeast Alaska.
The only Southeast Alaska public radio station that is not a member of CoastAlaska is KHNS which has a listening area of Haines, Skagway, and Klukwan (upper Lynn Canal).
