Temporary Funding Program Launched for Tribal Radio Stations

A new grant program to support Native American radio stations will kick off this October, according to a U.S. senator. The initiative follows a verbal agreement with the Trump administration, meant to provide short-term funding relief. Tribal stations saw budget cuts threatening their operation, especially in remote areas where they’re a vital news source. Advocates say this move helps protect cultural preservation and local voices. Longer-term funding solutions are still unresolved, though, and tribes are pushing for lasting support. It’s a small win, but a crucial step for media equity in tribal communities.
