Our current group of over twenty volunteers creates 40+ hours of original content every week the station airs 40+ hours of Alaskan music - more than any radio station in Alaska. It’s still there.įrom humble beginnings, KONR-LP now provides a platform to support local artists, emerging talent, it hosts important discussions and gives voice to under-served communities.
In 2017 KONR moved operations to Downtown Anchorage for a short period before moving to a new studio space in the heart of Spenard. Operations began out of a VW microbus in 2010 and relocated to the former home of Out North in East Anchorage.

Out North Contemporary Art House originally applied for an LPFM (low power frequency modulation) license in 2002, under the guidance of co-founders Jay and Gene and a handful of knowledgeable volunteers. Broadcasts have dealt, to name a few topics, with recent Black Lives Matter demonstrations and art, the 1937 Entartete Kunst exhibition/contemporary censorship, art-washing philanthropy, aspects of The Sublime, on science fiction tropes, comics/graphic novels and the depictions snow and ice across the centuries (with an Alaskan twist). In the last two-and-a-half years there have been interviews with sixty artists from Alaska, the Lower 48, Canada and Europe (UK and Sweden). Every artist in this exhibition has come on-air to talk about their work and practice. The program’s original intent to focus on Alaskan visual art and artists morphed into shows about visual art, visual culture, and aspects of art history quickly.
ISART is a science and engineering discussion-based. government-sponsored conference hosted by the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences (ITS), the science and engineering laboratory of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).

The International Symposium on Advanced Radio Technologies (ISART) is a U.S. Art Matters first aired in August 2019 and airs on Saturday morning, 11.00am Alaska time.
