Republicans in the House finalized a $9.4 billion rescission package Friday that includes the clawback of $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

On Friday, Republicans in the House finalized a $9.4 billion rescission package that includes the clawback of $1.1 billion for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
What we hoped wouldn’t happen, just did.

Following the executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to end both direct and indirect support to NPR and PBS, Congress has now passed a rescissions bill canceling $1.1 billion in previously approved public media funding.

In response to the budget cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, WAMC is fundraising today and we need your help!

If you would like to volunteer to answer phones this afternoon, please sign up.

The Latest at WAMC

WAMC Northeast Public Radio is excited to announce the official launch of On the Road, a new programming initiative that brings live public radio events — including interviews, conversations, musical performances, and cultural programming — directly to communities throughout the listening region.
The White House issued an Executive Order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to halt all direct and indirect funding to NPR and PBS. In essence, this puts at risk WAMC’s ability to deliver national and international programming—Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and the trusted newscasts our listeners rely on every day.
