ANNUAL ENHANCEMENT GRANT AWARD

In 2007, the Pacific Mountain Network (PMN) initiated an annual competitive PMN “Enhancement Grant” award project.  The purpose of the grant is to support or enhance a PMN member station's regional broadcast/electronic media production or in-service training activity that is of special benefit and interest to PMN member stations.

The 2007 Enhancement Grant was awarded to Salt Lake City member station KUED to partially support its hour-long production of "The Long Walk:  Tears of the Navajo."  The 2008 Enhancement Grant was awarded to Fresno member  station KVPT to partially support its production of Latina Lens.  The 2009 Enhancement Grant was awarded to Seattle member station KCTS to help support the production of Scam Busters--Fighting Fraud.
