CPB, funding NPR and PBS, is shutting down after a $1.1 billion funding cut by Congress.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the nonprofit that funds NPR and PBS, is shutting down after Congress cut $1.1 billion in funding. Most staff positions will end on September 30, with a small transition team staying until January 2026. The move, pushed by Republicans, is expected to severely impact rural public radio and TV stations that rely on CPB support.
