How to Listen to KHNS FM Live and Find Its Local News

Updated

KHNS FM is a community public radio station serving Haines, Klukwan, and Skagway in the Upper Lynn Canal region of Alaska. You can listen live through the station's website at khns.org using the "Click to Listen Live!" link, and you can find local news, candidate interviews, and station updates by browsing the LATEST NEWS and STATION UPDATES sections on the same site.

Listening Live Online

The primary online listening option is the "Click to Listen Live!" prompt on khns.org. Selecting it opens the station's live audio stream in your browser, so no separate app download is described on the site itself.

If you want to listen while reading the news, keep the live player open in one tab and the news sections in another. The site does not document a mobile app or a dedicated streaming platform in the available page content, so the website link is the confirmed entry point.

Finding Local News and Interviews

KHNS organizes its reporting into two main content areas on the homepage:

Section What it contains
LATEST NEWS Reported stories and election coverage, including candidate interviews and forums
STATION UPDATES Programming changes, station announcements, and staff notes

Recent examples from the site show the range of coverage:

  • Election coverage — 2026 candidate interviews with Haines Planning Commission candidates (Kim Rosado, Nick Szatkowski, George Campbell, and Zeke Frank), plus a recording of the Haines Mayoral/Assembly Candidate Forum hosted by KHNS and the Chilkat Valley News.
  • Regional reporting — stories on Skagway's Klondike Highway construction plans, a bench warrant issued in an assault case, and a Skagway Assembly request to rename the airport after a local pilot.
  • Station news — programming updates for summer 2026, a programming survey, and a note from the outgoing general manager.

Each item appears as a headline with a short excerpt; selecting it opens the full story or audio recording.

What to Know About the Station

KHNS broadcasts in Lingít Aaní and notes that its studios sit on the ancestral land of the L'koot Kwaan. The station identifies itself as community public radio and asks listeners to support it through donations. The site's pricing signals reference a "purchase" option, but no specific membership tiers, prices, or payment platforms are listed in the available content — check the donation page directly for current details.

Practical Tips

  • For live listening: go to khns.org and use the "Click to Listen Live!" link. Expect the stream to open in your browser.
  • For news: scan the LATEST NEWS section for reported stories and the STATION UPDATES section for programming and station announcements.
  • For election coverage: candidate interviews and forum recordings are posted as individual items, so you can listen to specific races rather than a single continuous broadcast.
  • If a search returns nothing: the site shows "No results found" for empty queries, so try browsing the section headings instead of relying on search alone.
