LongPlay: A Community Media Grant to Power Your Station’s Future

Updated: Jul 01, 2025

A retro-style TV sits against a green and blue gradient background, displaying a smiling group of four young people huddled together and looking down toward the camera.

At Tightrope, we know the challenges PEG stations face—tight budgets, small teams, and nonstop demands. But despite it all, you keep your community informed, connected, and inspired.

We see that dedication. And we’re here to support it.

That’s why we created LongPlay, a community media grant designed to help stations like yours extend their reach, streamline operations, and stay on the air.

What You’ll Receive

One selected station will get a complete automation and streaming package, including:

  • A one-in, one-out SDI automation server

  • A video-on-demand server

  • Team onboarding and one year of Gold Support

  • One year of content delivery service

  • Three-year hardware warranty

No fees. No fine print. Just support for the mission we share.

How It Works

To apply, tell us your story—your challenges, your community impact, and how this grant could help move your mission forward. We're selecting based on need, alignment with PEG values, and local impact—not polish or production. Finalists may also receive special offers or additional support.

Deadline to apply: August 1, 2025, at 5 PM ET. Click here to learn more and submit your entry.
