The GEAR program will fund and perform replacement of an interconnected stations antenna dish and downlink equipment if a station qualifies. If you have reception issues (e.g., loss of signal, poor audio) or an antenna dish in poor condition (e.g., segments separating, pitting, mount damage), you can apply and be evaluated by clicking the button below.

Note: There is a finite amount funded and work will be prioritized by need each year.

For stations looking for no cost programming with new perspectives to fill your schedule,  we would like to remind you of the hundreds of hours of free programming available on ContentDepot. Go to the Program/Browse Program dropdown. Under ‘Additional Filters’, click both ‘Free’ and ‘New or Active’ for available programs.
