KSEW (950 AM) was a radio station licensed to serve Seward, Alaska. The station was owned by Seward Media Partners, LLC, and aired an adult contemporary music format.[3]

The station was first licensed as KRXA on June 21, 1971, and was assigned KSEW by the Federal Communications Commission on May 14, 2008.[2]

Under a previous owner, the station simulcasted with KYSC in Fairbanks for several years.

KSEW's license expired and was deleted on February 1, 2014, after the application for renewal of the station's license was not filed on time. In addition it had not paid FCC fees for a number of years and efforts to collect the debt were unsuccessful.[4][5]
