South Dakota Public Broadcasting faces a $3.6M budget cut, threatening local programming and public safety alerts.

Supporters of South Dakota Public Broadcasting (SDPB) gathered to oppose a proposed $3.6 million budget cut, arguing it would reduce the workforce from 76 to 26 and eliminate local programming, including high school sports broadcasts. The cut would also impact the Emergency Alert System, which SDPB operates. The organization argues that the funding is crucial for public safety, government transparency, and education in the state.
