AlaskaOne (or Alaska One) is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member network of public television stations, serving communities in Alaska outside of Anchorage, which has its own PBS channel (KAKM). It is operated by the University of Alaska.

The network's flagship station, KUAC-TV channel 9 Fairbanks, is owned by the University of Alaska. The university also operates a network of repeaters throughout Alaska, all carrying the full AlaskaOne schedule from KUAC.

AlaskaOne's schedule can also be seen on these locally-owned PBS stations, with some local variations:

KYUK-TV channel 4 in Bethel was another AlaskaOne member station that had reportedly ceased operation and had its license deleted by the FCC on March 20, 2009.[1] According to KYUK's website, in 2004 its signal was moved to low-power K15AV.[2]

KUAC-TV signed on in 1971 as the first public television station in Alaska. KYUK followed in 1972, with KTOO coming online in 1978. The three stations merged into the AlaskaOne network in 1995.[3]

Some AlaskaOne programs can also be seen on Alaska's omnibus network, the Alaska Rural Communications Service, which is partially owned by AlaskaOne.

The organization also operates a radio network, which uses material from National Public Radio, American Public Media, Public Radio International, the Alaska Public Radio Network, and CoastAlaska.

In November 2011, AlaskaOne's corporate entity, Alaska Public Broadcasting Service, voted to transfer the network's operations from KUAC-TV to KAKM effective July 1, 2012; as a result, KUAC announced on December 8 that it will leave AlaskaOne and revert to being a separate station at that time.[3]
