Congress and President Trump have enacted a sweeping $9 billion cut to federal funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid, targeting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, NPR, and PBS. This move has left local stations, especially in rural areas, facing severe budget shortfalls, with some at risk of closure or drastic service reductions. While donations from supporters have surged in response, they fall far short of replacing lost federal dollars, threatening essential programming and emergency news services. The cuts have sparked widespread concern among broadcasters, state officials, and communities that rely on public media for information and connection. The future of public broadcasting in the U.S. is now uncertain, with many stations bracing for layoffs, reduced programming, and potential shutdowns.
