U.S. House Votes to Claw Back $1.1 Billion From Public Media
- On June 12, 2025, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a narrow 214-212 vote rescinding $1.1 billion previously allocated to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
- This rescission follows a proposal from President Trump last week aiming to remove over $700 million supporting independent local public media amid broader cuts totaling $9.4 billion.
- The funding cut would critically affect nearly half of more than 1,500 public radio and TV stations, especially in rural Alaska, where stations rely heavily on federal support for news and programming.
- PBS commissioned a poll showing 65% of Americans believe public broadcasters are adequately or underfunded, while PBS CEO Paula Kerger said they will continue advocating for essential public media services nationwide.
- The bill now moves to the Senate, where a simple majority is needed for approval, but bipartisan opposition and concerns about impacts on rural communities and emergency services persist.
