At year’s end, gratitude and service

As 2012 comes to an end, we thank the entire KNOM family for keeping positive programming beaming to thousands of families. Your support affects listeners across 100,000 square miles of snow-covered tundra and the frozen Bering Sea. The KNOM staff and volunteers appreciate the opportunity to serve remote listeners, 24 hours a day!

We wish you could see the young, enthusiastic volunteers recording, editing, and producing inspirational spots, PSAs, news stories, interviews, music, and many other radio programs. These young professionals work tirelessly to make a positive difference throughout Western Alaska. As we have said in the past, KNOM lights the fire of their desire to make a difference in the lives of everyone. We also remember all the past volunteers and staff that helped build up the KNOM radio ministry.

In recognition of all who donate, pray, volunteer, and help KNOM, we offer our gratitude: thank you, and all best wishes for a healthy, happy, and very blessed 2013.

What we’re thankful for…

The sun dips down a little more each day, as our days get shorter and the light grows dimmer. Yet, the bright voices of our staff and volunteers shine as radio listeners throughout cold, remote western Alaska listen to their favorite radio station: KNOM!

This Thanksgiving, we remembered supporters, past and present, who worked together to fund, create, and operate KNOM radio. As we enter the Christmas season, we give thanks for an incredible KNOM family helping to keep alive the dream of positive, inspirational radio.

Life can be very difficult at times, but by working together, we can help each other: especially those hardy souls in remote locations in Alaska and Russia. Thousands of families tune in each day to share in KNOM’s uplifting programs. We wish we could share their smiles, kind comments, and thanks with everyone who strives to make their lives better.
