Alaska loses vital 47-year-old TV weather program, leaving vulnerable residents in remote areas without forecasts

The daily weather program "Alaska Weather" will no longer be broadcast on public television stations in Juneau and Fairbanks, but will be available on YouTube.
Concerns have been raised that vulnerable residents in remote Indigenous communities with unreliable internet access or who prefer traditional methods of receiving information will be left without access to weather forecasts.
The show has been a vital resource for Alaska Native residents who rely on the weather forecasts to make decisions about hunting, fishing, and travel.
Alternative methods of delivering weather information, such as radio programs or podcasts, have been suggested, but they do not support graphics like the TV show.
Many Alaskans do not have reliable or fast internet access, making it difficult for them to access weather information online.
