Dr. Dan Etulain.  Dan first came to Alaska to work for Sheldon Jackson College as its Dean in 1982.  After years of service to the students of Sheldon Jackson, Dr. Etulain retired from his first career in education, and swiftly segued to a career in broadcasting, first acquiring KIFW-TV in Sitka.  

Years ago, Dr. Dan Etulain noticed a vast separation between those in rural and urban centers in the State of Alaska. His solution: “If we could only communicate with people in both areas the troubles and triumphs, the challenges and opportunities both possess, we as Alaskans would be far richer.”  From then to now, Dr. Etulain has owned, operated and sold KATH -TV in Juneau, KSCT-TV in Sitka. 

In January of 2006, Dr. Etulain’s company, North Star TelevisionNetwork, a broadcasting company known in Alaska for its outstanding service to both its viewers and advertisers, acquired a construction permit to serve the Anchorage market.  By February of 2007, KACN hit the airways of Anchorage.  In May of 2015, KACN-TV, became affiliated with the ME-TV network, bringing the most Memorable Entertainment to Alaska.  

Dr. Etulain has been named a Cossak Cap recipient by the Greater Sitka Chamber of Commerce.  He has been nominated as “Alaska’s Broadcaster of the Year”, and Dan has been a Rotarian for several decades.
