Public Broadcasting (PSPB)
in March received a major
grant to upgrade its digital
signal for rural communities.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
awarded a check for $940,814
to PSPB, one of 16 public
broadcasting stations receiving
a total of $15 million in
grant funds to finance the
conversion of television
services to digital broadcasting
in rural areas.
"This grant will be
invaluable in helping us
extend the reach of digital
broadcasting to all the
communities we serve,"
said Ted Krichels, general
manager of PSPB and associate
vice president for Outreach.
