Public Media Infrastructure
American non-profit corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Public Media Infrastructure (PMI) is an American non-profit corporation created to help local public media radio stations with distribution.[1] The corporation was founded by Public Radio Exchange, American Public Media Group, New York Public Radio, the Station Resource Group, and the National Federation of Community Broadcasters.[2]
History
PMI was founded in 2025 to provide services to local public media radio stations with technical infrastructure – distribution across platforms, analytics, and sponsorship.[3] It was established with a grant of up to $57.9 million dollars over five years from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.[4] PMI was established shortly following the announcement that the CPB would be closing. Following the end of federal funding, CPB ceased operations in January 2026.[5] National Public Radio filed a lawsuit against CPB alleging that they unlawfully yielded to political pressure by the Trump administration and withheld federal funds intended for NPR for interconnection purposes.[4] The lawsuit was latter settled.[6]
