Yes, there was a lot of religious programming on Channels 2 and 11 on Sunday mornings (including the PTL Club daily on Channel 2) until KJNP-TV in North Pole signed on in late 1981.

Now...I've talked to my good friend and University of Alaska journalism professor Charles Fedullo (himself a former news anchor in Fairbanks and Anchorage) about the lack of classic Alaska TV clips on YouTube, especially news opens, IDs, and promos. Posting schedules is great, but SEEING what TV in Fairbanks and/or Anchorage was like in the '70s and '80s -- heck, even the '60s, if any kinescopes exist -- is even better!

I'm sure somebody must have old tapes -- don't care if it's VHS or Beta -- in the attics or sheds that have been gathering amounts of dust for years and years that have yet to be on YouTube. This one from KIMO-13 in Anchorage in 1982 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhUJFk5yiVQ) is just chicken feed, but we want more, MORE I say!!!
