The Broadcasters Foundation of America is providing emergency aid to qualifying colleagues in the radio and TV industry who have been personally hit hard by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian. So far, requests have come in from individuals who work at Spanish Broadcasting System, America CV Station Group, Telemundo and Univision, with the first of those checks going out to qualifying individuals this week.
"Our Emergency Grant Program is set up with a streamlined vetting process that allows us to move quickly and get checks to those in desperate need quickly," explained Broadcasters Foundation of America President Tim McCarthy. "Broken pipes, power outages, displacement, and more have brought devastation to many of our colleagues.
"We've already reached out to groups and state associations in the areas affected by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian and asked them to let their employees and members know that we are here to provide aid to those who need it most. We're asking every broadcaster in affected areas to help us get the word out to those who may qualify for assistance," added McCarthy.
