Stations in Financial Distress
CPB’s highest priority in preserving service is maintaining universal service. While CPB does not have sufficient discretionary funds to act broadly to keep stations solvent, CPB will work with stations to determine appropriate interventions that serve the public interest in preserving universal service.
