Our Tagline: Discover The Great Land
We decided on "Discover The Great Land" for several reasons. The Great Land is a relic phrase in some ways, but represents how the world once viewed Alaska. The word Alyeska (al-ee-ES-ka) which roughly translated means "The Great Land" is how some Alaska natives originally described their homeland. We feel that Alaska is more than just the Last Frontier, it is the greatest place on earth. Our tagline captures the action of coming to Alaska with the sentiment of how we feel about our homeland - all in one simple phrase.
The People: Alaska HDTV's Team
Scott Slone, President and Producer
Scott is a fifth generation Alaskan, Outdoor Filmmaker, and founder of Alaska HDTV, which originally launched in September 2005. Scott’s family history in Alaska has inspired the pioneer spirit throughout his life, from mountaineering, to the 1992 Olympic trials, to following his passion for Alaska wildlife, ecology, and study of Herpetology. Scott has more than 10 years in new media, search marketing, and website development with clients including universities, state offices and small innovative businesses.
Kevin Kastner, Vice-president (Marketing & New Business)
A resident of Alaska since 1996, Kevin has been involved in new media development for more than 12 years including new media projects for AlaskaUSA FCU, GCI and Starbucks. Kevin could be described as a pilot, car fanatic, entrepreneur and creative thinker - but that would only capture a fraction of his interests and activities. Kevin wears many hats at Alaska HDTV including business development, marketing, camera operator, director and co-producer.

Scott's Wife & Family:
Thanks to my wife, Mahala, son, Coleson, and daughter, Willow for their support and motivating me to help achieve my dreams. None of this would be possible without my Wife for her unceasing patience when I spend way too much time on my productions. -- We all believe everyone should at least have a chance to experience Alaska the Last Frontier! - Scott
