Pretty decent lineup, though by the start of the 1985-86 season, it would be a whole new daytime for KATN as the PTL Club and two of NBC's soaps would be out and Donahue would finally be in as new owners had taken control of the station (they retained Days of Our Lives while in the case of Another World, Fairbanks would either have to wait 11 more years to see it again -- when KTVF made the big switch from CBS to NBC -- or get someone to tape them from KTUU in Anchorage).
 
And for those of us in Alaska without satellite or cable, ARCS TV still exists..... comes out of anchorage and is a conglomeration of a few hours a day of all the networks and beamed by satellite to digital translators in villages across the state.

.1 is that conglomeration feed
.2 is PBS
.3 is UATV/First Nations expierience
.4 is Juneau360/government tv
