About the company

Saint Louis Regional Public Media, Inc., doing business as Ketc, is a Saint Louis–based tax-exempt nonprofit that acts as a federal grant sub-recipient, delivering early-learning community engagement and media content production services under the U.S. Department of Education's Ready to Learn (RTL) initiative and related federal grant programs. The organization does not hold federal contracts or prime contract vehicles; all six recorded federal awards are sub-awards or prime grants, with 67% routed through sub-recipient relationships and 33% as direct prime recipient grants.

Ketc operates as a nonprofit public media organization and participates in the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's RTL Learning Neighborhood initiative, a community-wide program focused on supporting early childhood learning in home, neighborhood, and local-systems contexts. The organization's recent federal footprint centers on the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, which accounts for four of six total awards; a smaller National Park Service media-production engagement adds one award valued at $32 thousand; and a Department of Commerce National Telecommunications and Information Administration award completes the set. Across all customer agencies, Ketc holds $32 thousand in combined potential value against $415 thousand in combined dollars obligated—a 1,299% ratio indicating that earlier obligated dollars significantly exceed current potential-value ceilings in the source snapshot.

Ketc's primary sub-award vehicle is the RTL Learning Neighborhood program under the Corporation for Public Broadcasting as prime grantee, with three documented sub-awards dated February 2023, February 2024, and January 2025. The February 2023 sub-award budgeted $90 thousand for the initial fiscal year with $50 thousand planned for subsequent years. The February 2024 amendment updated the project trajectory to $90,117 (2021–22), $50 thousand (2022–23), and $50 thousand (2023–24), with a total project budget of $260 thousand divided across four fiscal periods, subject to annual appropriation and amendment. The January 2025 award reflects continuation within this multi-year framework. Activity across all sources shows one award per year across 2018, 2021, 2023, 2024, and 2025—a sparse but consistent footprint with no pronounced trajectory growth.
