Broadcast Tribute: Al Bramstedt Jr

We pay tribute to a beloved Alaskan broadcaster, Al Bramstedt Jr and the impact he made on Alaska's broadcast industry. Besides the legacy left by Al's leadership, it was how he led: with thoughtful integrity. 

Three longtime broadcasters who worked with Al: News Director John Tracy (retired), Sports Director John Carpenter (retired) and Meteorologist Jackie Purcell, joined us to share fun Alaskan broadcast stories about a quiet giant in Alaska's broadcast history.

Listen to our fun podcast!
