We hope those of you that had a chance to stop by on Wednesday evening (July 30) had a great time at our second annual member appreciation picnic. We’ve posted photos from the event. And we’re hoping for more photos soon from a pro photographer we had in attendance.

In addition to simply saying “thank you” to our donors, we’re celebrating the 30th anniversaries of KSKA Public Radio and the Alaska Public Radio Network, both of which were launched in the summer of 1978 and are part of our APTI family.

No need to send gifts! But we sure would like to have you as one of our community philanthropists. You can even give online right now.

Schedule Updates error for e-mail subscribers

Posted in Schedule Updates | Leave a Comment

For those of you subscribing to our Schedule Updates e-mail service (available here), you may have received a message within the last day or so that promoted some schedule information from way back in February. We’re not exactly sure why this happened, but it appears to have been some sort of error at our e-mail service provider (FeedBurner).

Upon our own examination, all things seem to be setup properly. We’ll keep an eye on this situation and, if necessary, shut off the e-mail feed until FeedBurner can help us fix the problem.

Feel free to contact us if you have questions.
