City of Seward Resolution 2023-013
KMPM Tower site lease �! ID °WA)
Relative to this proceeding, Kenai Mountains Public Media, Inc., doing business as Seward Public
Radio, is licensee of 91.7 KIBH-FM Seward as well as a 106.1 FM translator or booster which repeats
91.7 FM over 106.1 FM to provide signal to areas of the area that the 91.7 FM signal doesn't reach.
Approval of this resolution will allow Seward Public Radio to locate 106.1 FM downtown and fill in
gaps where the 91.7 FM signal is non-existent, weak or suffers interference from other radio
transmitters.
KMPM/Seward Public Radio is also licensee of high definition digital television channel 7 which is
now serving viewers and listeners all over Seward and Bear Creek.
This currently operating HDTV Channel 7 transmitter is also located at the City of Seward site
specified in this Resolution and Agreement.
Through the use of satellite dish facilities at the City of Seward site, KMPM/Seward Public Radio will
also be offering enhanced satellite based Emergency Alert System services to the Seward area via our
radio and television signals.
Kenai Mountains Public Media is an all volunteer 501(c)(3)Alaska non-profit corporation, and Alaska
Natives and women form a majority on our corporate board of directors.
KMPM/Seward Public Radio is based in Seward and Bear Creek and all of our board members,
