On this week's program, we'll get an update from the NTSB on their preliminary report on the Sept. 15 plane crash in Iliamna. 

Governor Walker's top budget Pat Pitney discusses the state of Alaska's finances, and what options the governor might propose to move forward. A beluga hunter caught and shared his prey in Dillingham this week, and we'll continue our conversation with a former DPD officer who testified in support of an early release for the man who killed Officer Tony Jones in 1992. 

Those stories and more coming up, after a look back at some of the week's news, here on Bristol Bay and Beyond.

Frank James caught this beluga during an effort this week in Dillingham. James tells KDLG he enjoys sharing his bounty, and was traded some salmon and moose for the muktuk.
