Funder of major US broadcasters to shut down ‘within months’

Editor’s Note: Public broadcasting has long been a trusted source of news, education, and cultural programming for millions of Americans. If CPB disappears, stations that rely on its funding—especially in rural or underserved areas—could face budget cuts, layoffs, or even closure. This isn’t just about losing TV and radio shows; it’s about the potential erosion of accessible, non-commercial media at a time when reliable journalism is already under pressure.
