Alaska Business Insider

Alaska’s economy never stands still. One minute the oil industry is booming while tourism companies are tottering, and the next the construction industry is laying down its hammers while fishermen are enjoying strong catches.

In this blog we’ll track those highs and lows, resource development disputes, new ventures and many other topics. We’ll rely on our own reporting as well as bring you relevant news from other media or any other source that has information of interest to people following Alaska industries, from mining to retail to real estate.

We encourage your comments on our posts, but please keep them courteous and on topic. If you violate the ADN comment policy, your posts will be deleted.

Talkeetna's Whole Wheat Radio signs off the Web

From the ADN Newsreader --

The music has ended for Whole Wheat Radio in Talkeetna, reports KTNA.

The webcast, which had a modest worldwide audience, signed off Friday for reasons co-founder Jim Kloss wouldn't discuss in detail, saying only in his goodbye note that "I no longer love this job."

The concerts by indie musicians that Whole Wheat has hosted over the years are finished too, Kloss says.

But other events that have been held at the "Wheat Palace" will continue, he says, including private parties, meetings, classes and art showings.

Check out a 2008 Daily News slide show on Kloss and Whole Wheat Radio.
