The move by CPB — which has provided funding to PBS and NPR — to wind down comes after President Trump led a successful effort to defund public media. In mid-July, Congress approved to Trump’s rescission package, which cut $1.1 billion for CPB over the next two years.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced on Friday that it would begin winding down its operations after President Donald Trump rescinded $1.1 billion in funding for the nonprofit, which for decades has helped sustain NPR, PBS, and hundreds of local public media stations across the country.
