KPS504 (sometimes referred to as Nenana All Hazards) is a NOAA Weather Radio station that serves Fairbanks and surrounding cities. It is programmed from the National Weather Service forecast office in Fairbanks, Alaska with its transmitter located in Nenana. It broadcasts weather and hazard information for Denali Borough, Southeast Fairbanks Census Area, and Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area.

History

On September 6, 2008, the NWS Alaska Region and the city of Nenana completed the installation of a Crown 300 Watt NOAA Weather Radio transmitter and associated communications in Nenana. The transmitter was funded under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The USDA grant purchased the transmitter and antenna; the city of Nenana provided a building and tower space along with electrical power for 15 years, thus KPS-504 became the 1,000 transmitter in the NOAA Weather Radio network.^[1]
