[8] Later that year, the station moved to 104.7 MHz[9] and increased the effective radiated power of its transmitter, then located atop the Student Union Building, to 10,500 watts.

[10] KUAC broadcast mostly classical music, news and talk programming, as well as other educational features such as recorded classes on tape for elementary school students.

[11] As part of the launch of KUAC-TV channel 9 in 1971, the station moved from its original home in Constitution Hall to newer, larger studios in the university's Fine Arts Complex.

[21] 89.9 MHz, initially bearing the call letters KUAB, came to air in April 1997, maintaining public radio service while the studio-transmitter link to the 104.7 transmitter on Bender Mountain was broken.

[27] In 2019, further cuts—from the state, which eliminated all direct funding to public broadcasting, and at the university[28]—prompted the discontinuation of several multicast services by KUAC radio and television.

[29] 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.

[30] 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.
