KAUG (89.9 FM) was a radio station licensed to serve Anchorage, Alaska. The station was last owned by the Anchorage School District.[1] It aired a variety format.[2]

The station was assigned the KAUG call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 7, 2007.[3] The FCC cancelled the station's license and deleted its call sign on February 2, 2022 for failure to file an application for license renewal.
