Everything about Alaska Rural Communications Service totally explained

The Alaska Rural Communications Service (ARCS) is a statewide network of low-powered television stations, serving 235 communities throughout the Alaskan Bush areas. The network is based in Anchorage, Alaska and is operated by Alaska Public Broadcasting, a joint venture of Alaska Public Media and AlaskaOne. Programming is beamed via satellite to the rural transmitters owned by the Alaska state government.
   Programming on ARCS is a selection of programming from four broadcast networks (NBC, CBS, Fox, MyNetwork TV) and syndication, via the ; plus PBS programming from AlaskaOne and KAKM. Anchorage stations provide their programming to ARCS free of charge with the condition that advertising is allowed to remain. There is currently no ABC or CW programming available on ARCS due to the fact that KIMO has declined to participate, citing an unwillingness to give their programming away for free.
   Even though much of ARCS's programming contains commercials, the operation of ARCS is partially funded by donations from its viewers, just like member stations of PBS.
