Trump Just Pulled the Plug on PBS and NPR — Smaller Stations Will Go Dark

Trump Just Pulled the Plug on PBS and NPR — Smaller Stations Will Go Dark

Public broadcasting leaders are pushing back after Congress approved a controversial spending bill backed by Donald Trump that eliminates all federal funding for PBS and NPR. The decision, part of a $9 billion budget cut passed by the Senate earlier this week, cleared the House early Friday morning, marking a significant blow to public television and radio networks nationwide.

Paula Kerger, president and CEO of PBS, issued a strong statement criticizing the cuts, saying they will especially hurt smaller stations and those in rural areas that depend heavily on federal support. Kerger warned that many stations, which offer free local programming and emergency alerts, will soon face tough choices about staying operational.

“These cuts will significantly impact all of our stations, but will be especially devastating to smaller stations and those serving large rural areas,” Kerger said. “Despite today’s setback, we are determined to keep fighting to preserve the essential services we provide to the American public.”

NPR CEO Katherine Maher also expressed concern, pointing out that nearly three-quarters of Americans rely on public radio for news, alerts, and safety information. Critics argue that stripping away federal dollars could weaken a critical lifeline for millions, particularly in communities with few media outlets.

With the bill now passed, PBS and NPR must look for alternative funding sources to maintain their programming, but for many smaller stations, survival will be uncertain.
