A question about corporate Grants

[skywalks]

I was reading through a critera list for a telefilm grant and I read this...

Productions with budgets under $300,000 must provide a broadcast licence


Aren't broadcast license's expensive??? how does an indy film maker get a large budget grant?

I don't get it. Like an FCC license? Why would the producer need one? Maybe seeing the whole thing would help.

Maybe it means something else there.

A broadcast license is provided to you by a broadcaster. ie. We pitched a project to one of the networks. They granted us the broadcast license to take our show to the next stage for the additional financing. You don't pay for it and it doesn't cost you anything.
