Public radio and television stations in rural areas may soon be contending with big cuts. President Trump signed 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.

A rescission package working its way through Congress would cut $400,000 from the station’s budget. But a grant for two statehouse reporters is moving forward.

Plaintiffs allege the president’s effort to cease federal funding to NPR and PBS violates freedoms of speech and the press.

Our general manager breaks down our funding, how a push to cut federal grants would impact the station and how Wyomingites view public media.

National Public Radio (NPR) has been in the news a lot. Elon Musk labeled NPR’s Twitter page as “state-affiliated media.” He has since removed that labeling and NPR has stopped using their Twitter pages. At Wyoming Public Media, we felt that it brought up a legitimate question. How is public radio funded and are we controlled by any entities? So Wyoming Public Radio’s Kamila Kudelska spoke with Wyoming Public Media’s general manager Christina Kuzmych.
