The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is set to wind down operations following a successful Republican effort to defund local PBS and NPR stations. President Trump's rescissions bill clawed back $1.1 billion earmarked for CPB, leading to the elimination of nearly all staff roles. While larger stations may adapt, smaller, rural stations face potential closure, impacting communities nationwide.
