Do You Love AMR? Here's How You Can Get Involved To Assure Our Future!
This is Scott Smith, General Manager of Allegheny Mountain Radio.
On Tuesday, June 3rd, a bill was introduced to Congress. Known as a recission bill, it intends to claw back money already appropriated in previous Federal budgets, including money which was appropriated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting until 2027. Congress now has 45 days to act on this bill.
It needs only a simple majority to pass, and if it does, Allegheny Mountain Radio will lose over 60% of our income, money which can simply not be made up via our other revenue sources of donations and underwriting. As we have been saying for over a year now, this loss would mean radical changes in the way we operate down the road, including staff, broadcasts and services.
If you would like to contact your Congressional representatives about this bill and it’s impacts, the most effective way to do so is to call their offices, via the House of Representatives’ switchboard at 202-225-3121 and the Senate switchboard at 202-224-3121. You can also send them e-mails via the website protectmypublicmedia.org.
And as always, thank you for your support of AMR.
