Public Media Stations Are Offered A New Grant Program

The Public Media Bridge Fund has launched a grant program to help public media, Current reports. Organizations that were eligible for CPB funding on Sept. 30, 2025, can apply for grants and other forms of help. Coaches will help them create an action plan, and they can then request funding.  “Many local public media organizations already know how their operations need to adapt — they just require the capital and capacity to get there,” says Erik Langner, executive director of the Bridge Fund. Radio-only organizations are eligible for up to $150,000 in implementation funding and TV-only stations and joint licensees can receive up to $250,000.
