United States Agency for Global Media

Structure

USAGM provides multimedia broadcast distribution, as well as technical and administrative support to the broadcasting networks. It manages a global network of transmitting sites and an extensive system of leased satellite and fiber optic circuits, along with a rapidly growing internet delivery system servicing all USAGM broadcasters. It is also the administrative and marketing arm of the Agency.

USAGM also oversees six entities: two federal organizations — the Voice of America and the Office of Cuba Broadcasting, which oversees Radio and TV Martí — and four non-profit organizations — Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, Radio Free Asia, the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, and the Open Technology Fund — which receive grants from USAGM.
