The funds will help KVCR pay for PBS and NPR programming, which it had previously proposed cutting to offset budget deficits.
The San Bernardino Community College District said that the local community won’t lose access to NPR and PBS.
The licensee’s board will present a detailed plan in December to be approved by April. The plan may include cuts to NPR and PBS programming, as well as FNX.
First Nations Experience will become a beneficiary of auction proceeds through parent station KVCR in San Bernardino, Calif.
The United States’ first 24/7 television channel for indigenous people has begun airing on a handful of public television stations across the country. The channel’s launch was limited, as producing station KVCR in San Bernardino, Calif., seeks a national distribution deal and additional funding. In addition to KVCR, FNX: First Nations Experience is carried by KEET in Eureka, Calif., LPTV in Bemidji, Minn., and Navajo Nation TV-5, which covers parts of New Mexico and Arizona. Chicago’s WYCC and Oklahoma’s CATV-47 plan to begin airing the channel soon. Meanwhile, technical difficulties with FNX equipment have delayed its launch on Wyoming PBS.
