The Las Vegas station is working to pull out of a financial crisis.
The station’s board and interim CEO have discovered roughly $700,000 owed to NPR, as well as other outstanding debts.
Board members and new leadership are still investigating how the Las Vegas station ended up suddenly facing “severe cash flow issues” in August.
The station is facing “severe cash flow issues,” according to a statement from its board of directors.
The $500,000 matching gift will support Give Voice, a $6 million major-gift campaign.
The broadcaster purchased the station last year.
The university has been “re-envisioning” the station to make it more self-sustaining and to increase student involvement.
The Sun Valley frequency overlaps with the coverage area of two other public radio stations serving Reno.
A vote on the proposal was postponed indefinitely.
