ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Native Voice One is partnering with Public Radio Exchange, or PRX, on broadcast distribution for Indigenous-produced news, music and cultural programming.
The October 14 announcement says 17 continuing series and additional specials are available through PRX’s digital distribution platform. The arrangement is supported by Public Media Infrastructure, a nonprofit providing shared technology and services to public-media stations.
Native Voice One is a division of Koahnic Broadcast Corporation in Anchorage. It says its programming serves more than 200 tribal, rural and urban stations, with carriage on more than 655 signals across 36 states and additional international locations.
The available programs include Native America Calling, National Native News, Indigenous in Music and Words and Culture, alongside health, youth and other cultural programming.
Distribution is part of preserving local choice
For a small station, a reliable program-delivery system can determine whether limited staff time goes toward journalism and community service or toward retrieving files and solving technical problems.
The partnership also offers a question for stations outside Native communities: what perspectives are missing from their schedules, and could Indigenous-produced programming help fill that gap?
The announcement does not provide a complete affiliate pricing schedule or station-by-station transition plan. Prospective affiliates should ask about delivery requirements, program rights, costs and support before changing their schedules.
