A $1 million donation from the Richison Family Foundation, established by Paycom’s founder and CEO, Chad Richison, has been made to Friends of OETA, Inc.

According to OETA Executive Director Polly Anderson, “I want to extend my deepest gratitude to Mr. Richison and all of those at the Richison Family Foundation for supporting OETA and our mission.”

With OETA’s statewide network of four full power transmitters and 14 low-power translators, more than two million viewers tune into OETA on a weekly basis. It is part of the liberal Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network.

“I have been a fan of public broadcasting and a loyal viewer of OETA for many years,” said the Richison Family Foundation and Paycom founder, Chad Richison. “I am pleased to be able to support OETA’s family friendly content that’s creating educational opportunities across the state through their programming.”
