Larsen Applauds Funds to Expand Public Radio Access in Skagit County

 
Washington, D.C. – U.S. Representative Rick Larsen (WA-02) congratulated Skagit Valley College for recently receiving a $110,528 federal grant from the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program. Skagit Valley College will use the funds to establish a new public radio station, KSVU on 90.1 FM, bringing local communication and educational programs to currently under-served areas in the Skagit River Valley. 
 
“Skagit Valley College’s effort to provide expanded access to local radio is a great service to our community,” said Larsen. “This was a highly competitive grant process, and I congratulate Skagit Valley College on their success.” 
 
KSVU General Manager Rip Robbins said, “I look forward to developing new radio programs with the residents of the upriver valley, who have expressed great interest in having a radio station in their community.” 
 
“These funds will help Skagit Valley College and KSVU to provide important programming and news about education and local service issues to our friends and neighbors in eastern Skagit County,” said Dr. Gary Tollefson, President of SVC.  “It’s an exciting opportunity for the college and the communities we serve.” 
 
Public Telecommunications Facilities Program (PTFP) is a grant program directed by an agency within U.S. Department of Commerce.  PTFP designates a portion of their funding to provide financial support to public radio stations to help bring educational and cultural broadcasts.  The PTFP grant to Skagit Valley College will supplement the purchase of equipment for the new radio station, KSVU.
