Telling Alaska’s Story: In many ways, Channel 2’s story parallels Alaska’s story: Humble beginnings, big ambitions, and the audacity to do something remarkable and distinctive. Both have been driven forward by determined people working together to accomplish a singular and bold vision. Both continue today, inspired by the fervent pioneer spirit of Alaska’s people and the vision of an exhilarating future. The mission at Channel 2 is simple: To tell Alaska’s story. Since 1953, generations of Alaskan’s have made Channel 2 a part of their daily lives. The station has become Alaska’s most watched and most trusted independent news source for breaking news, in-depth storytelling, complete sports coverage and accurate weather forecasts. To cover news in a state as massive and diverse as Alaska, it takes a special commitment. It’s a commitment that KTUU-TV and Channel 2 News have taken very seriously for the past six decades.
