Corporation for Public Broadcasting

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funnels federal money to public media stations, says it's winding down operations after President Trump signed a law rescinding all funding.

Public radio and television stations in rural areas may soon be contending with big cuts. President Trump is expected to sign a so-called “rescissions” measure from Congress that will take back $1.1 billion in funds previously allocated to support the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which helps fund NPR, PBS and member stations.

Public media is under threat after the U.S. Senate passed an amended version of the rescission bill that would eliminate $1.1 billion in previously approved funds for the Corporation of Public Broadcasting. It now goes back to the House. Boise State Public Radio received about 20% of its budget from CPB in FY 2024.

President Trump is asking lawmakers to claw back the $1.1 billion in federal subsidies for public broadcasting that Congress approved earlier this year. His request also includes cuts to foreign aid.

Hours after President Trump tried to remove three board members, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting responds with a lawsuit arguing he does not have that authority.

Trump and GOP members of Congress accuse the public broadcasters of biased and "woke" programming. Trump plans a rescission, giving Congress 45 days to approve it or allow funding to be restored.
