Why are we making schedule changes? Annual adjustments are necessary for our broadcast schedule for a variety of reasons including Volunteer hosts leaving or ending their production, keeping things fresh with new shows, program costs, etc. KNBA has a bi-annual review of the schedule to look at any needed changes.
When will these changes take effect? The majority of schedule changes start February 1, 2026.
What are the basic changes?
● Saturday mornings will include a more current, contemporary music presentation from Native Voice One with Indigenous bands and artists.
● Saturday afternoons will have more locally programmed KNBA music hours.
● Weeknights 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm will continue to share unique programs with different music genres created by national and local volunteer producers.
● Monday through Friday 10:00 am to 11:00 am brings fresh music and talk from Native Voice One and from AK Public Media.
KNBA continues streaming: Our broadcast schedule is available at 90.3 fm, online streaming at www.knba.org, and through our free app available at any app store.
Let us know your thoughts: We encourage KNBA listeners and members to share your listening habits (Weekdays, Weekends, Evenings, etc.) as well as favorite, and not so favorite, programs. Comment at our email address: feedback@knba.org.
