KUAC is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1962, it operates with approximately 30 employees, is recognized as a tier 2 media tech buyer, and reported $17.3M in revenue as of 2023. The company's primary service is functioning as a non-commercial FM radio station based in Fairbanks, Alaska.
On May 1, 2026, KUAC 89.9FM began its "May One Match Day" event, featuring a special Alaska Live broadcast with winners of the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. Previously, KUAC celebrated National Library Week from April 19 through 26, 2026, by broadcasting stories from its archives on KUAC 89.9 FM. This initiative highlighted a project within the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, supported by the Mellon Foundation, GBH in Boston, and the Library of Congress. Earlier in the year, on January 20, 2026, hundreds of historical KUAC TV broadcast materials became available online after being accepted into the Library of Congress archive, a development funded by a grant from the American Archive of Public Broadcasting. KUAC General Manager Gretchen Gordon expressed the station's enthusiasm for the comprehensive collection. This archival effort followed an announcement on August 27, 2025, that KUAC would implement "significant changes" to its services in Fairbanks, Alaska, in response to federal budget cuts impacting public media.
