Out North Contemporary Art House originally applied for a Low-Power FM license in 2002, under the guidance of co-founders Jay & Gene and a handful of knowledgeable volunteers. After years of back and forth with a local church looking to do the same, we were granted permission to build Anchorage's first LPFM station in 2008! We began operating in 2010 out of a VW microbus and then relocated to the former home of Out North in East Anchorage. Shortly after launch, our entire operation almost completely shut down. But, a dedicated group of volunteers kept us legal and on-air. In 2017, Out North relocated it's operations to Downtown Anchorage for a short while before moving to a new studio space in the heart of Spenard.
From our humble beginnings, KONR-LP has grown to become a serious alternative to the drab, corporate radio which saturates Anchorage. The radio station provides Out North with a platform to support local artists, emerging talent, to host important discussions and give voice to the under-served in our community. Our current group of over 30 volunteers create 50+ hours of original content every week. We also air 40+ hours of Alaskan music - more than any radio station in Alaska.
