PBS and NPR Funding Is on the Precipice as House Votes to Rescind Federal Dollars
The future of federal funding for public media is, for the first time in decades, facing a very real risk of being eliminated, after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to pass President Trump's rescission package, which pulls $1.1 billion in funding for PBS and NPR. The House passed the package by the slimmest of margins, 214-212, after one Republican switched their vote. The rescission package now heads to the U.S. Senate, which can pass it with a simple majority (or 50 votes, with the Vice President breaking a tie). Republicans hold a 53 to 47 seat majority, and while some moderates like Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski have expressed concerns about the package, it may not be enough to stop it from passing.

Republicans have been pursuing an end to federal funding of PBS and NPR for decades, going back to President Nixon. No Republican, not Nixon, not Reagan, nor either Bush, was ever successful in eliminating all funding. That may be about to change, with local PBS and NPR stations likely to feel the brunt of the pain. At issue is what conservatives see as the left-leaning politics of public media, while advocates for the stations note that the vast majority of programming is produced locaally, serving audiences that may be underserved by commercial stations.
