KTKN (930 AM) is an American commercial radio station airing talk and hot adult contemporary music programming in Ketchikan, Alaska.

Its owners, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Britton, turned over the property to a local bank, saying that wartime conditions had caused the withdrawal of national advertising accounts and made it impossible to continue.

[14] Through the Office of War Information, KTKN aired transcriptions of network programs flown to Alaska by military planes for the benefit of soldiers stationed there.

[15] Later in the war, KTKN and KINY presented programs produced by Army, Navy and Coast Guard combat forces.

The application was contested by the second station to set up in Ketchikan, KABI, which said soil conductivity in Alaska meant that the operation would not meet FCC standards.

[9] The station was finally approved in 1965 for the daytime power increase to 5,000 watts that had first been pursued 12 years earlier,[9] though it would have to replace its tower after it was toppled in a Thanksgiving Day wind storm in 1968.

[28] In 1980, the group finally began to sell off its holdings piecemeal, beginning with the Anchorage and Fairbanks television stations and concluding with KTKN being sold to Gateway Broadcasting for $350,000 in 1981.

[30] The Burns had been running Alaska Broadcast Communications for the previous decade, including the Ketchikan Radio Center with sister stations KGTW and KFMJ (which is commonly operated but separately owned).
