More Than a Sound Byte.
Monday-Friday, After 9am & 6pm Weather (When Available)
Few stories are told sufficiently in a sound byte. With Profiles, we present longer-form news stories about the events, moments, people, and places that are shaping life in Western Alaska.
Listen for conversations with influential voices and experts in our region: community leaders, political candidates, Iditarod mushers, and many more. Listen, also, for extended snapshots of special events or gatherings: from cultural festivals to youth leadership summits to sporting events.
Listen to Profiles on weekdays after the 9am and 6pm weather.
KNOM Profiles have covered a wide range of topics relevant to Western Alaska. From left to right: Amy Flaherty interviews Elsie Boudreau in October 2002 on foster care issues in Alaska; Julia Dunlap interviews former Alaska governor Frank Murkowski and his wife, Nancy, in March 2003; and current News Director Laureli Kinneen proudly displays a piece of pilot bread: a hardtack-like cracker (and staple of the rural Alaskan diet) that was the subject of a much-beloved July 2009 Profile.
