Fourteen Alaska public media stations got emergency funding after federal cuts, relying on tribal partnerships and donor support amid shutdown uncertainty.
Fourteen Alaska public radio and TV stations, including KUCB and KYUK, received temporary funding after Congress defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The Interior Department awarded them one-time grants through a tribal program, providing about $283,000 to KUCB and nearly $1 million to KYUK, covering a year of operations.
Though not tribally owned, the stations partnered with tribes to qualify.
The aid is contingent on the end of the government shutdown.
National media coverage spurred over $25,000 in out-of-state donations to KUCB, with similar, though smaller, support for KYUK, boosting staff morale.
Long-term sustainability remains uncertain.
