Adopt a Station is a way to compensate for the funding lost to US public radio stations when the CPB shut down. No state is more dependent on public radio, or hurt by lost CPB funding, than Alaska. Here is a table of all the stations there, with graphs showing how much lost funding they need to make up. My adopted station is KSKO, in McGrath, which has satellite stations in Anvik, Holy Cross, Shageluk, Grayling, Nikolai, Crooked Creek, and Sleetmute. KSKO lost 70% of its funding, so I’m hoping my small contribution will help.
