In 2007 the CPB Board approved an allocation of $7 million to the Digital Radio Conversion Fund. CPB is opening this round to distribute the allocation.
To date, CPB has funded the digital conversion of 640 public radio transmitters, 72% of all public radio transmitters. Over 300 public radio stations are now transmitting digital signals. Standard funding levels are the same as past rounds. Requests for Hardship Status are accepted which may result in an award greater than standard funding levels.
