University campus in 1978. KSKA signed on the air as 103 FM on August 15 as Aurora Community Broadcasting with 3,000 watts of power. Around 1980, KSKA boosted power to 36,000 watts and moved to FM 91.1 on the dial. In 1994, KSKA merged with public television station KAKM Channel 7, forming the parent company of the Alaska Public Telecommunications Inc. (APTI) and moved in with KAKM at the Elmo Sackett Broadcast Center in 1997. KSKA tripled its coverage area in the fall of 1998 by installing a 100,000-watt transmitter. On July 1, 2004, APTI merged with the Alaska Public Radio Network (APRN) to become more efficient by consolidating services. KSKA broadcasts 24-hours-a-day and reaches about 60 percent of the state’s population.
