Today on the midday report with host Brian Venua: residents may finally start to see SNAP benefits roll out, Alaska Commercial Co. pushes for SNAP benefits to also pay for shipping of goods, issues with last week’s tsunami warning, and proposals to increase the state’s base student allocation are moving through despite a shrinking state budget.

Born and raised in Dillingham, Brian Venua graduated from Gonzaga University before ultimately returning to Alaska. He moved to Kodiak and joined KMXT in 2022. Venua has since won awards for the newsroom as both a writer and photojournalist, with work focused on strengthening community, breaking down complex topics, and sharing stories of and for the people of the Kodiak Archipelago.
