They want Washington to get money to those outlets before they go out of business due to lack of ad dollars caused by the pandemic.
Also, the American Consumer Institute sent THIS LETTER to the leadership of the House and Senate requesting that the Paycheck Protection Program be extended to local radio and television stations as well as requests additional coronavirus stimulus relief efforts help community broadcasters.
