Similar Stories to Maine Public Looks To Raise $3 Million For More Broadcast Equipment, Programming on Bing News

Maine Public is starting a $3 million public fundraising campaign to enhance the radio and TV network’s equipment and create more local programming. The effort is the final phase of a $30 million campaign begun in 2013, when the network began “quietly” soliciting major donors and companies for money to help implement it’s long-term strategic plan, said Chief Executive Mark Vogelzang. That money has already helped Maine Public launch its new Maine Public Classical radio network, which began in May with three stations and a fourth added a few weeks later. Some of the money was used to buy transmitters for each of the seven Maine Public Radio stations that carry news and information programming, he said. Reaching the $30 million goal is important because, if reached, a $1.2 million donation from an anonymous person will kick in.
