Public media is facing funding cuts at the federal level that will significantly impact our programming, including news, music and culture, educational programs and the emergency alert system.
The White House called for the elimination of funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a private, nonprofit corporation that supports 1,300 local public media stations across the country, like Minnesota Public Radio, as well as NPR and PBS.
Now approved by Congress, this will effectively dismantle the public media system.
