KINY (800 AM) is a radio station licensed to Juneau, Alaska, serving southeast Alaska. Owned by Local First Media Group, it broadcasts a classic hits format.
KINY began broadcasting on May 31, 1935, at 7:30 p.m. [3] It was located in the Goldstein Building until 1939, when the building was destroyed by fire on February 8, 1939. [4] The Decker Building in downtown Juneau then served as KINY's headquarters for decades. The station moved into the building on October 28, 1940. [5] The Decker Building burned down in June 1984. [6]
KINY and its sister station KSUP were bought by Alaska Broadcast Communications in June 2008. [7] [8]
In October 2022, KINY, sister stations KSUP and KXXJ, and eight translators were sold to Bryan Woodruff , Ted Ellis and Cliff Dumas of Local First Media Group for $1.3 million. [9] After the sale, the station began to back away from its previous full service positioning in 2024, with Dumas stating that he wanted the station to have a "stronger musical identity". This resulted in the cancellation of its long-running call-in show Problem Corner (which was converted to a podcast), and the layoffs of its two full-time news reporters in May 2024. [9] [10] Most of the station's online news content now consisted primarily of wire stories, press releases, and articles created with generative AI. [11]
Notable regular syndicated broadcasts include:
KINY carries news from ABC News Radio and live sports from the Seattle Mariners and the Seattle Seahawks.
In addition to the main station, KINY has an additional five translators to widen its broadcast area.

Juneau, officially the City and Borough of Juneau, is the capital of the U.S. state of Alaska, located along the Gastineau Channel and the Alaskan panhandle. Juneau was named the capital of Alaska in 1906, when the government of what was then the District of Alaska was moved from Sitka as dictated by the U.S. Congress in 1900. On July 1, 1970, the City of Juneau merged with the City of Douglas and the surrounding Greater Juneau Borough to form the current consolidated city-borough, which ranks as the second-largest municipality in the United States by area and is larger than either Rhode Island or Delaware.

A boycott of the 1997 Golden North Salmon Derby, held in Juneau, Alaska, was called for by the Alaska Native Brotherhood (ANB) because of the political stances of the Territorial Sportsmen Inc. (TSI), the derby's sponsor, on the issues of subsistence, Indian Country, the creation of five new Southeast native corporations passed over by the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, and the classification of halibut as a subsistence food. After a month of public debate and several days of mediated discussion an accord was signed by both groups, with TSI agreeing to not use derby funds for political advocacy, the ANB agreeing to call off the boycott, and periodic town hall meetings established for discussion on the issues raised by the ANB.
