Remember, Trump illegally ordered this impoundment of funds, but the GOP approved it after the fact in its rescission package. This is on them, too.

I wonder if PBS Passport membership would still be a viable way of helping them stay on the air and active. I saw a post the other day about people signing up for it - and this is where the Viewers Like Us come in. If this Congress won't support PBS staying on the air, then we will.

NPR directly receives approximately 1-2% of its funding from the federal government, primarily through grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). It's important to note that NPR also receives a significant portion of its funding (around 30%) from fees paid by its member stations.
aug 3, 2025, 5:29 pm • 0 0 • view
Many of these member stations, particularly in smaller and rural markets, receive a larger share of their operating revenue (around 8-10%) from the CPB.
aug 3, 2025, 5:30 pm • 0 0 • view
Therefore, while the direct government funding to NPR itself is relatively small, a portion of the funding it receives from its member stations can be considered indirect govt support. The majority of operating funds come from private & corporate donors. Donate if you can. Same goes for PBS.
