2025 PAB BROADCAST INTERNSHIP REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM

 

The PAB Board of Directors is delighted to continue our popular Broadcast Internship Reimbursement Program.  This year (2025), we are adding an application form for you to file prior to your station’s engagement of a broadcast intern.  After the end of the internship, you will continue to submit the reimbursement as in years past.

Both the application and the reimbursement form are below.

PAB MEMBERSHIP IS REQUIRED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM.  Television member stations are eligible for 3 interns per company ownership, per DMA, per calendar year.  Radio member stations may apply for 3 interns per market per calendar year.

Stations must participate in our monthly PEP/NCSA Program for the entire calendar year.  Stations will be audited throughout the year to ensure compliance.

Maximum reimbursement will be for 180 hours at $15.00 per hour ($2700.00).  Should your intern work fewer hours at a lower rate of pay, please submit hours at the adjusted rate.

Interns are required to submit a 500 word summary titled “My (station call letters) Broadcast Internship Experience” which will become the property of the PAB. The summary must be submitted with the reimbursement form in order for the station to receive reimbursement.

The intern should be exposed to all areas of broadcasting including sales, community relations, news, and IT/engineering.
