On Today’s Midday Report with host Brian Venua: Fishermen found a balloon-like object in the ocean that’s now in the hands of the U.S. Military. Operation Arctic Care is bringing no-cost medical services to the archipelago’s communities. A new poll shows most Alaskans favor increasing state education funding. Food from Takotna, a village with just 50 people, is a top spot for Iditarod mushers for their mandatory 24-hour break during the race. And the Academy Awards are this weekend with several Native nominees.

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.
