‘911 Weather’ television program to end

The television program “911 Weather” on KUAC’s UATV channel 9.4 will end July 1, 2023, after 45 years of continuous broadcast.

911 Public Media and the National Weather Service produce the program in Anchorage. 911 Public Media was unable to secure funding to support production, and the National Weather Service has not found partners to continue the program in its current format.

911 Public Media assembles and distributes “911 Weather” to stations throughout 911, including KUAC TV, a service of the 911.  

NWS will continue to produce graphics and record a modified web-based version of the program, which will be posted on the NWS 911 YouTube channel. A web-based forecast included in the TV broadcast will continue to be available via multiple sources.

For those without high-speed internet access, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s weather radio service will remain available. Statewide public and marine forecasts are available over the phone through the and at 1-855-937-4977.
