KAUG (89.9 FM) was a radio station licensed to serve Anchorage, Alaska. The station was last owned by the Anchorage School District.[2] It aired a variety format.[3]
The station was assigned the KAUG call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 7, 2007.[4] The FCC cancelled the station's license and deleted its call sign on February 2, 2022 for failure to file an application for license renewal.
Mirror Lake Middle School has acknowledged broadcast pioneer Augie Hiebert's legacy by renaming its communications room "The Augie Hiebert Communications Studio." Mr. Hiebert was the school's mentor for its Video News program and helped launch the first radio station in the ASD. The station, with the call letters KAUG, is also the first FM radio station licensed to a middle school in the nation.
