TEN separate radio stations broadcast from this nondescript building with multiple separate radio studios in downtown Fairbanks, Alaska.

The stations are all owned by the Ingstad family, with licenses split between Rob and Tor Ingstad.

The following stations are licensed to Rob Ingstad:

KFAR-AM 660 "News & Conversation"
KDJF-FM 93.5 "Chet 93.5"
KYSC-FM 96.9 "The River"
KXLR-FM 95.9 "X-Rock"
K248DK-FM 97.5 "News & Conversation" (FM Translator for KFAR-AM 660)

These stations are licensed to Tor Ingstad:

KWDD-FM 94.3 "Wild 94.3"
KWLF-FM 98.1 "K-Wolf"
KTDZ-FM 103.9 "Ted FM"
KKED-FM 104.7 "ESPN Radio"
K300DL-FM 107.9 "ESPN Radio" (FM translator for KCBF-AM 820 out of Anchorage - KCBF-AM is NOT owned by the Torstad family)

When we were in Fairbanks, we listened mostly to Ted-FM 103.9 or X-Rock 95.9, because those were the only non-country or talk radio FM pre-sets in the rental car.
