-14. Rural County is an agricultural community located hundreds of miles fromany metropolitan center. The County established a Television ReceptionImprovement Fund to serve the public interest by constructing and operat-ing television translator stations. TV translator stations serve communitiesthat cannot receive the signals of free over-the-air TV stations becausethey are too far away from a broadcasting TV station.

The fund was established on December 20, 2016, witha transfer of cash from the General Fund of $125,000.
