CPB Shuts Down After Federal Funding Cuts
Update: 2026-01-05
Description
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a key funder of NPR, PBS, and local stations, is dissolving due to massive federal funding cuts under Trump. The cuts, driven by allegations of biased content, have forced the corporation to shut down by August. Local stations, particularly in rural areas, are most affected, with up to 15% potentially closing within three years without steady federal support. Despite the challenges, the board chair remains optimistic about a future Congress recognizing the vital role of public media in education, culture, and democracy.
