The Last Frontier Eco Alliance www.lastfrontierecoalliance.blogspot.com is an Alaskan-based environmental justice solutions organization founded by J.T. Hessert to promote the development of a clean energy economy that works for all parties across the socio-economic spectrum. The organization is driven to unleash the power of media as a tool for social change and to build sustainable programs that link raising awareness with results-oriented action.
Our flagship initiative The Yukon River Media Project / Alaska Green is designed to philanthropically connect the worlds elite social and environmental justice film production organizations with rural communities along the Yukon River and other river systems in the far north. We travel down these wilderness rivers by human power and give presentations in the schools about global warming, social activism, green jobs and the need for a clean energy economy. Than we work with top film producers @ the global level to provide them with an opportunity to donate their most powerful and inspirational films to our contacts in these communities so that educators / tribal leaders can incoporate them into the classroom curiculum to be used as an educational tool to expand the horizons of youth.
Our long term goal is to build a series of annual spring events for all our major cities, but currently we are focused on one primary Alaska Green Fair event in Anchorage, and are actively collaborating with great people at the Anchorage Media Group, as well as other partners to bring this vision to reality.
The Anchorage Media Group http://morriscomm.com/divisions/mcc_radio/anchorage.shtml is made up of six radio stations that cover south central Alaska with a range of formats reaching listeners from young adults to those mature and enjoying the prime of their life.
Included in this cluster is the very first station to take the air in Alaska, 50,000-watt KFQD-AM. From its first broadcast in 1924, 750 KFQD has served the state with blocks of news, traffic and weather each morning and afternoon with popular national talk show hosts and great local talk in the mid-day.
KBEAR 104.1 or KBRJ-FM is Alaska's most listened-to country radio station with a full-service morning show featuring Jim Robbins and Matt Valley.
KOOL 97.3, KEAG-FM, is Anchorage's only station playing good times and great oldies. The veteran personalities who make up KOOL's lineup include Carrie Carrigan, Dave Stroh, and Ed Riley.
Alaska rocks with 106.5 K-Whale, KWHL-FM. K-Whale is the heritage rock station in Anchorage reaching out to the 18-to-44-year-old male with today's active rock music.
To take care of women who like adult contemporary music, Mix 103.1, KMXS-FM, plays the best mix of the 1980s, 1990s and today.
The only music on the Anchorage AM band is KHAR. Catering to an audience of 45 and older, this station plays nostalgic music from artists such as Frank Sinatra, Perry Como and some of the more recent easy listening artists. Mornings on KHAR start with long-time Alaska personality Dick Lobdell.
