Alaska KSDP Reporter and Station Featured in Guardian Article

R

RF101

"...Now the station finally has its own reporter: Theo Greenly, who splits his time between KSDP and two other radio stations, KUCB and KUHB, each hundreds of miles apart across the Pribilof and Aleutian Islands."

"...Together with his colleagues Sofia Stuart-Rasi and Maggie Nelson at KUCB in the larger 4,400-person town of Unalaska, Greenly is one of just three journalists covering the 1,000-mile archipelago, and the only one assigned to cover Sand Point...."

Lot more at the story.

KSDP brings vital information – from tsunami warnings to salmon levels – to an Alaskan town of 600 people. Can it survive losing 70% its budget in federal support?

Theres a consortium of reporters, as i recall, part of what i thik AKPM Called.. the alaska desk...... and a grant hired several reporters and they cover a region, shared between multiple stations. theres a swath of the interior with no news report

That big red circle is served by 3 public radio stations.. none of us have in the circle have a news person, just a PD/GM and thats it for FT staff. Some communities just outside this circle have service from another public station and that station will cover something if its big enough.

In the article, shutting down the AM 830 facility appears to be their only solution for surviving, stating the high costs of operating and maintaining it They would maintain a network of 4 FM signals. I can only find one FM translator for the AM. Does anyone know if the other 3 are translators, boosters, relay. And what primary station would be used?

They have 1 translator and 4 class D stations. The primary for the translator and the other stations could move to KAEB-FM the sand point FM./
