services by KUAC radio and television. In order to keep the stations in operation, the university forgave an $800,000 loan used to rebuild the radio antenna and update television master control equipment. Other difficulties have come from operating in Alaska's winters: in 2012, a thick layer of ice and snow coated the tower and the antennas on top of it, weakening the station's signal. Digital television rebroadcast KUAC FM broadcasts on sister station KUAC-TV on channel 9.6.
