KFAR, 660AM-97.5FM

KFAR, 660AM-97.5FM Local Talk Radio KFAR made history as the farthest north radio station. KFAR served as a communication link to troops in W.W.II. That spirit continues today.

During the early days of Alaska aviation, pilots would set their homing beacons on 660 AM to help guide them back to Fairbanks. KFAR originally sported one of the tallest self supporting towers in the United States and at 372 feet was the Interior's tallest tower. The actual radio station was a gift to the pioneers of the Interior from Alaska Industrialist Austin "Cap" Lathrop. KFAR remained on th

e air during the flood disaster of 1967. The original transmitter/tower site served as a refuge for Fairbanksans left homeless by the flood. During the fires of 2004, we fielded calls from listeners offering their own homes for those displaced by the flames.

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Case 24-3483 – Homicide – 10th Avenue

DATE: October 14, 2024

MEDIA CONTACT: Teal Soden, Public Information Officer, 907-459-6792, [email protected]

On Monday, October 14, 2024, at approximately 10:00 a.m., Fairbanks Emergency Communications Center received a 911 call from a resident at a 10th Avenue apartment who stated a child had been harmed.

Fairbanks Police officers responded to the location and found a young boy that was deceased in the apartment. He was identified as 5-year-old Robert J. Sarten. It was clear from the boy’s injuries that he was a victim of homicide.

Officers made contact with the caller, who was the only person in the apartment with the victim when officers arrived on scene. This is an active investigation, and more information will be shared with the public when possible. FPD does not believe that there is an ongoing threat to the public.

“There is nothing more heartbreaking than the senseless death of an innocent child,” said FPD Chief Ron Dupee, “We are incredibly saddened at what that poor child went through and will do everything in our power to hold the perpetrator accountable. This case is now our top priority.”

This is an ongoing investigation and anyone with more information related to this case should contact Detective Robert Hall at [email protected] or 907-450-6500.
