Since 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has funded public media stations across the country, delivering news, educational content, entertainment and emergency alerts to millions. However, the CPB will be shutting down on Sept. 30 due to federal funding cuts.
President Donald Trump signed the Rescissions Act of 2025 on July 24, canceling $1.1 billion of funding for the CPB, which funds National Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting Service.
