CPB President and CEO Robert T. Coonrod announced today. CPB is supporting the project through its Public Radio-Public Service Competitive Fund . The Fund targets programming that reinforces public radio's heritage of quality public service content and that appeals to the changing habits and makeup of American audiences. It links Native and non-Native audiences in a national conversation about society and culture.
Public radio succeeds by giving voice to a diverse America.
In KBC, the series gains a producer that has built audiences in Alaska and beyond. CPB is pleased to support this collaboration. The Corporation is the industry's largest single source of funds for national public television and radio program development and production. CPB, a grant making organization, also funds more than 1,000 public radio and television stations.
