If you find yourself in Northwestern Alaska on a Sunday morning and scan the radio dial, there’s a good chance you will hear the voice of Ernie Norton.
Ernie Norton, host of Sunday Morning music, has volunteered for over three decades at KOTZ.
“There’s people from Arizona, Ohio, California, Washington [and] Oregon,” Norton said. “I’ve had several calls from Europe. I think it was Sweden, and another guy that called from Germany.” In his time volunteering at the station, he transitioned from reel-to-reel machines and 8-tracks, to cassette tapes and CDs. Now, at nearly 80, he’s learning a new computer system.
Norton said it began years ago when listeners from nearby villages began sending in their homemade recordings and he just kept playing them. Eventually, the radio station stepped in to help produce the recordings. He said one of the reasons he thinks his show is so popular is that unlike most religious programs, he doesn’t preach. Norton, who was raised in the Friends Church and now considers himself Episcopalian, said he takes a more universal approach to religion.
