KHAR

It is owned by Alpha Media, with studios on Artic Slope Avenue, two blocks west of the Dimond Center Shopping Mall in Anchorage.

The station was also noted for carrying the commentaries of Ruben Gaines, a onetime poet laureate of Alaska known for creating the character "Chilkoot Charlie".

KHAR was one of only a few commercial stations in Alaska whose format more or less remained intact during the era of broadcasting company consolidation which began in the 1990s.

[4] Morris Communications sold KHAR and 32 other stations to Alpha Media LLC effective September 1, 2015, at a purchase price of $38.25 million.

The format is described as carrying four decades of the greatest hits of all time, including a "blend of the best pop, soft AC and easy listening".
