Annual equipment grant deadline set: St. Patrick's Day

Public media applications for funding by the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program are due March 17. The full Funding Opportunity notice details the PTFP priorities and eligibility standards, and the FAQ has more info.

A series of hourlong webinars to train applicants begins next week. Dates are Feb. 10, 14 and 23, and March 7. All begin at 2 p.m. Eastern. To reserve a spot in the webinars, write to Lynn Chadwick, lchadwick@ntia.doc.gov, before the close of business the day before.

Last fall the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration bestowed about $20 million in matching grants to public stations and other nonprofit and noncommercial organizations. The grants typically pay 50 percent to 75 percent of project costs.
