Blues and Beyond

Farewell and a big Thank You to volunteer host Jeff Thurston and his show Blues and Beyond for a successful run on KNBA since 2014!

Jeff and family are moving to the lower 48 and he’ll no longer be here to continue Blues on Sunday nights. We received passionate feedback from listeners and enjoyed hearing Jeff’s enthusiasm for the Blues. We’ll have alternate programming during October as we assess the options for Sunday night programming from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Loren’s been on the Radio in Anchorage for 40 of the 50+ years he's lived here. Since the mid 80's he's worked with Anchorage radio stations including KWHL, KFQD, KKLV, KHAR and KMXS. His passion for programming a station and the 'Triple-A' radio format began in the early 90’s which led to him to help establish the format on KNBA when the station signed on in 1996. When not on the radio hosting a music show and interviewing local and national music acts, he may be hosting a stage at the Salmonfest music festival, carving a snow sculpture during Fur Rendezvous, on a road trip adventure, or hanging out in his hometown Anchorage.
