A new bill in the Michigan Legislature would use state funds to offset federal cuts to public media stations.

The SAVE ELMO Act – short for Securing Access to Vibrant, Enlightening Education and Local Media Outlets – would create a new $13 million Public Media Fund in the state budget.

Public media stations across the state would be eligible for grants of up to $1.5 million.
