Defund PBS

Thank you for contacting us with your concern about funding for CPB and the public media organizations it supports. Public media is a public-private partnership in the best tradition of America’s free enterprise system. By law, the majority of the federal funds goes through CPB, a private, nonprofit corporation, to more than 1,500 locally owned and operated public television and radio stations across the country. Each local public broadcasting station makes its own programming choices, as CPB is prohibited from interfering with editorial decisions related to programming on local public television and radio stations. We look forward to working with the Administration and Congress in raising awareness of how the national investment in public broadcasting pays huge dividends in education, public safety and civic leadership to millions of Americans and their families.
