KUAC, a privately owned company founded in 1962 and headquartered in the US, operates a non-commercial FM radio station in Fairbanks, Alaska. In 2023, the company, employing approximately 30 people, generated less than $25 million in revenue. While its primary function is radio broadcasting, KUAC also offers streaming services.
On July 18, 2025, Congress passed the Rescissions Act, eliminating previously approved funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). This resulted in a $1.2 million funding gap for KUAC, representing one-third of its annual operating budget. The funding reduction prompted KUAC to announce significant changes. The Alaska Community Foundation is working to raise funds and support Alaska's 27 public media stations, including KUAC, to help address the shortfall. KUAC stated that federal funding through CPB accounts for over 30% of its annual budget and that this gap cannot be covered without community support.
