So, apparently one of my favorite stations, #WMPG, lost their #CPBFunding a few years ago (but did receive a big grant a couple of years ago to help the station make much-needed upgrades, including a new transmitter).

But for the last few years, they have been relying on community support, local #Underwriters, and have found other ways to donate (Clynk bottle returns, proceeds from junk car donations, etc). And a university department "adopted" the station to help with funding, but who knows if that will still be there!

WMPG working to qualify for a CPB Community Service Grant again

March 13, 2023

"You may have noticed that we no longer have CPB underwriting announcements read after some of our programs. This is due to WMPG no longer receiving this funding. For more than 20 years WMPG has received this funding but last year we lost the funding due to no longer meeting their qualifications. Radio stations like ours need to meet certain criteria to be funded including the number of listeners as measured by a ratings agency, the number of paid staff, the amount of non-federal funds raised and financial reports. We had an issue with our financial reports which led to this. We are working hard to re-qualify and starting in July will move under a department at USM. We are hoping this will lead to another 20 years of funding from this important source of support!"
