Hearst-Argyle actively supports the work of the Broadcasters Foundation of America, a non-profit organization that, through financial grants, serves as a safety net in times of personal or family crisis for current and former radio and television professionals across the country.

In 2005, for example, the Foundation provided financial assistance to New Orleans radio and TV broadcasters impacted by Hurricane Katrina.

In addition to support extended from Hearst-Argyle's corporate office, the company participates in the Foundation's Angel Program, with each station contributing annually to the endowment fund.
