From the GM’s Desk (Christmas 2018)

“There is a purpose to every season in Western Alaska. A time to be active, and a time to rest. A time to fish and pick berries, and a time to live off stores. This season, we prepare to celebrate the arrival of the light of the world in the darkest of months. KNOM’s annual Christmas call-in show is a witness of just that, when listeners (often young voices) share love and joy to family members spread throughout the region. As one family, we join in making way for the Savior of all. Prayers of peace and joy to you this Christmas.”

Margaret A. DeMaioribus, General Manager
