The Corporation For Public Broadcasting Is Shutting Down After More Than 50 Years
HuffPost
The organization is a key source of funding for NPR, PBS, local public TV and radio stations around the country.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced Friday that it would begin an “orderly wind-down of its operations” after President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress voted to rescind its funding.
The CPB has provided funds for NPR, PBS and local TV and radio stations across the country for more than 50 years. Americans watching public broadcasts could long expect to hear a familiar phrase at the end to let them know the programming was “brought to you by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and viewers like you.”
Now, the stations that depend on that funding will have to come up with other sources of revenue, such as grants from private institutions, or else have less programming to offer.
Some stations — particularly those in rural areas — may even be forced to shut down completely.
Trump’s war on CPB stems from his accusation that NPR and PBS are biased in favor of Democrats and leftist ideology.
