KFQD
KFQD (750 AM) is a commercial radio station in Anchorage, Alaska branded as "News Talk 750 and 103.7 KFQD". It broadcasts a news/talk format and is owned by Connoisseur Media. The studios and offices are on Arctic Slope Avenue in Anchorage.
KFQD is the oldest radio station in Alaska and one of the most powerful. It is a Class A, 50,000 watt, non-directional station broadcasting on a clear channel frequency. The transmitter site is off Merlene Lane in Point MacKenzie.
KFQD is Alaska's primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System (EAS). It is also heard on 250 watt FM translator 103.7 K279BG in Anchorage and its adjacent suburbs.
KFQD begins each weekday with a three-hour block of local news and information. That's followed by nationally syndicated conservative talk shows including Armstrong & Getty, Dave Ramsey, Chad Benson, Clyde Lewis and Markley, Van Camp & Robbins. Weekends include Kim Komando, The Great American Outdoors, Big Alaska, Science Fantastic with Dr. Michio Kaku and Bill Handel on the Law.
KFQD was the radio play-by-play home of the ECHL's Alaska Aces, which was simulcast by GCI on their cable network. KFQD also simulcasts some of the newscasts of KTUU-TV Channel 2, the Anchorage NBC Television Network affiliate.
KFQD was first licensed on May 20, 1924, to the Chovin Supply Company. The call letters were randomly assigned from an alphabetical roster of available call signs. The station was deleted in early 1925, but relicensed, again to Chovin Supply Company as KFQD, later that year.
In 1926, ownership was transferred to the Anchorage Radio Club. In 1929, the station was deleted a second time, but revived by the Anchorage Radio Club later that year. By the 1930s, KFQD was transmitting at 780 kHz, with a power of 250 watts, and studios at 411 Fourth Avenue.
With the 1941 implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), KFQD moved to 790 kHz, a regional frequency, still powered at 250 watts, but able to broadcast around the clock. By this time, there were four radio stations in the Territory of Alaska. KFQD was the oldest, followed by stations in Ketchikan (KGBU, July 29, 1926), Juneau (KINY, June 25, 1935), and Fairbanks (KFAR, October 30, 1939).
