Investigation Brief
Alaska's News Source (alaskasnewssource.com) is the official website for KTUU-TV (NBC) and KYES-TV (CBS), local television stations serving Anchorage, Alaska. The domain has been registered for over 17 years, the site publishes verifiable contact details including a physical Ankorage address and phone number, and technical checks found no security warnings or malicious activity. The site's own pages identify it as part of Gray Local Media, a subsidiary of Gray Television, a publicly traded broadcasting company. This is a standard news content property funded by advertising, not a scam or deceptive commerce operation.
Verified Local News Operator
The site explicitly identifies itself as Alaska's News Source for KTUU/KYES in Anchorage, Alaska. Its own pages publish a mailing address (KTUU-TV, 501 East 40th Ave. Anchorage, AK 99503-7488) and a phone number (907) 762-9202, providing concrete means for viewers to reach the station. Such transparent contact information is consistent with a legitimate broadcasting operation rather than an anonymous scam operation.
The domain itself is 6454 days old (approximately 17.7 years), registered in 2009, which predates the domain's current branding and underscores a long-standing operational history. The site's terms-of-use text references submissions to 'GLM or Stations,' aligning with Gray Local Media ownership. Public inspection files and FCC applications links reflect the regulatory obligations of a licensed broadcaster.
No Technical or Consumer Risk Detected
Technical checks found no adverse indicators. The browser threat feed returned no threat warning, the saved TLS check confirms a valid encrypted connection, and the hosting IP has an abuse confidence score of 0 out of 100 across zero saved reports. These results indicate that the site is not currently flagged for malware distribution, phishing, or other technical threats.
From an operator and customer-risk perspective, the evidence shows a standard advertising-supported news operation. There are no confirmed risk mechanics such as affiliate supplement funnels, withdrawal traps, or subscription billing schemes. Cross-domain links point to corporate Gray properties, public FCC files, and a charitable organization (Red Cross), all consistent with a transparent media business. No user complaints or adverse reports were identified in the available research.
Why the score is 92
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.

alaskasnewssource.com has operated for years with no threat signals in this review — a long, stable track record, though it is never a guarantee on its own.
Contact Verification
Saved contact details can help identify the operator. Their presence supports traceability; it does not prove the business is trustworthy.

A shared Akamai address answers for many sites, so it is not the site's own server and says nothing about who runs it.
