KZPA AM 900

An AM radio station broadcasting at 900 kHz, licensed to Fort Yukon, Alaska, and serving the Yukon Flats region of far northwestern Alaska. The station is owned and operated by Gwandak Public Broadcasting, Inc., a nonprofit public broadcasting organization. KZPA launched on September 30, 1993, making it one of the few broadcast outlets in one of the most remote and sparsely populated parts of Alaska. The station derives a portion of its programming from several other public radio outlets, including KSKO-FM in McGrath, Alaska, KRFF in Fairbanks, Alaska, and CHON-FM in Whitehorse, Yukon, giving its schedule a regional public radio character that extends across the Alaska-Canada border. The station describes its mission as connecting isolated communities through content that informs, entertains, and inspires, with an emphasis on culturally rich and thought-provoking programming. Gwandak Public Broadcasting characterizes its approach as rebroadcasting from a curated selection of stations to provide listeners with a broad mix of news, current affairs, music, arts, and cultural programming. The station's signal reaches not only the Yukon Flats area but also parts of Canada, reflecting the geographic reality of broadcasting in a region where political borders have limited relevance to community connectivity. The organization positions itself as the heart of public radio for its remote service area.
