WASHINGTON, D.C., FEBRUARY 16, 2005 -- The Corporation for Public Broadcasting will award Internet Service Acquisition Grants to help 131 rural and minority public radio stations enhance their listener and community service via the Web.
"Providing news, updates regarding community events, program information and other services over the Internet keeps stations connected with listeners," said CPB President and CEO, Kathleen Cox. "Through these grants, CPB is helping minority and rural stations expand their services in ways that can make a difference in their local communities."
CPB is investing a total of $3 million over the next three years in the grant program. Approximately 200 grantees with rural and/or minority status are eligible for $5,000 per year for the next three years. Under the terms of the grant program, eligible stations could receive a maximum of $15,000.
