Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski announced that the Bureau of Indian Affairs will provide temporary funding to fourteen Tribal and Native-serving public broadcasting stations in Alaska. This comes after the rescission of $1.1 billion for public broadcasting, which Murkowski opposed. She noted that while this funding helps, "the job isn’t done until every station in Alaska has stable, long-term support."

Murkowski expressed gratitude to the Department of the Interior for their collaboration and stressed the importance of public broadcasting in connecting communities. The funding options include partnering with a Tribe or through a grant process, with eligible stations able to receive support shortly.

The stations receiving funding include KNBA-FM, KBRW-AM, and KYUK-AM, among others. Murkowski has emphasized her commitment to exploring all avenues to support Alaska’s public broadcasting amidst ongoing funding challenges.
