KYUK is an AM public radio clear-channel station in Bethel, Alaska. It is licensed for 10 kilowatts on 640 kHz (640 AM). It primarily features programming from National Public Radio and Native Voice One.
KYUK (AM) claims to have been the first Native-owned and operated radio station in the United States when it first went on the air in 1971.[1]
A construction permit for a 1000-watt FM rebroadcaster of KYUK (AM) on 91.1 MHz at Marshall, Alaska was issued by the FCC on 27 December 2007.[2] In addition, a new sister station, 90.3 KYUK-FM, with music-only programming, went on the air in Bethel in December 2009.
