Coming up on KTNA

This week on Su Valley Voice we’ve invited both the Jessica Stevens Community Foundation and the MatSu Health Foundation onto the show. We’ll discuss the origins and work of each organization. We’ll also hear from local non-profit groups who have benefitted from their respective grant making programs. Su Valley Voice was recorded live this morning and rebroadcasts tonight (Tuesday) 7pm.

Each weekday KTNA produces an Iditarod Report featuring local veteran mushers. The guests speak with KTNA’s Phillip Manning about this year’s race and the latest from the trail. The Iditarod Report airs during the evening news all week, only on KTNA.
