It appears that KTBY was indeed the first station in Alaska to broadcast 24 hours a day by the late '80s.
As for the rest of the schedule? KTVA seemed to be heavy on movies on Saturday nights, and KTUU was the only one with local news at 6:00. At least it was all about variety compared to Fairbanks.
