Help AIROS by writing us a letter of support telling the Public Radio Satellite System how much you appreciate AIROS programming. Send your comments to airos@unl.edu!

All of us at AIROS (American Indian Radio On Satellite) appreciate you listening online or through your local public, tribal or community radio station. We at AIROS wish to continue to work hard in making AIROS available 24 hours a day. And with that in mind, we need to hear from you now.

Native American Public Telecommunications ( NAPT/AIROS) is in the process of re-applying this year for the in-kind satellite channel and uplink services from the PUBLIC RADIO SATELLITE SYSTEM (PRSS) in Washington, DC, and WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT LETTER. This in-kind saves AIROS the cost of paying for satellite time and uplink charges which amount to about $243,000 per year.

The Distribution/Interconnection committee of the NPR (National Public Radio) Board meets in July to review and hopefully approve our application for another three years of in-kind satellite channel support for AIROS. Without this in-kind discount from the PRSS, AIROS could not provide Indian Country with programming 24 hours a day through both radio and webcasts. Please send an e-mail to us with your support letters.

This PRSS in-kind support is only one part of keeping AIROS on the air, and we are required to reapply every three years to the NPR Board's D/I committee. We thank you for being a part of the AIROS family, and we want to continue serving you and the rest of Indian Country. Thank you.
