Here’s How Much Money GA Stations PBS, NPR Lose In Trump Cuts
UNITED STATES, AUG 03 – The Corporation for Public Broadcasting begins winding down after Congress rescinded $1.1 billion in federal funding, ending nearly six decades of government support for public media.
- After a nearly 60-year run, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced Friday it is beginning the wind-down of its operations, ending federal support for NPR and PBS.
- In July, Congress rescinded $1.1 billion in CPB funding after a political push led by President Donald Trump.
- Over 1,500 public radio and television stations relied on federal funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting , which distributed over $500 million annually.
- Most CPB staff will be laid off by Sept. 30 as a small team remains through January 2026 during the wind-down.
- The shutdown reflects a deepening ideological divide over unbiased journalism and highlights a broader scrutiny of taxpayer-funded institutions, with public radio and TV stations at risk of going dark due to federal rescissions legislation.
