KUAC is a privately owned company headquartered in the US. Founded in 1962, it operates with approximately 30 employees, is recognized as a tier 2 media tech buyer, and reported $17.3M in revenue as of 2023. The company's primary service is functioning as a non-commercial FM radio station based in Fairbanks, Alaska.
KUAC held its May One Match Day fundraising event on May 1, 2026, which included a special Alaska Live broadcast featuring winners of the Fairbanks Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition. Previously, on April 18, KUAC observed National Library Week by airing stories from its archives, highlighting its involvement in the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, a national effort supported by the Mellon Foundation, GBH, and the Library of Congress. This initiative followed the January 20 announcement that hundreds of historical KUAC TV broadcast materials, part of a comprehensive collection, were accepted into the Library of Congress archive and made available online through an American Archive of Public Broadcasting grant. General Manager Gretchen Gordon expressed the station's enthusiasm for the preservation. Earlier, on August 27, 2025, KUAC announced it would implement "significant changes" and reduce services in Fairbanks, citing federal budget cuts to public media.
