PBS, NPR funding on the line as House nears final vote on $9.4 billion in DOGE-backed cuts
UNITED STATES, JUN 12 – The House package targets $8.3 billion in foreign aid and $1.1 billion from public broadcasting, aiming to reduce government waste identified by the Department of Government Efficiency.
- On Wednesday, the House approved a 213-207 procedural vote to move forward with legislation that would withdraw $1.1 billion previously allocated to PBS, NPR, and other public broadcasting organizations.
- This vote follows President Trump’s May 1 executive order directing federal agencies to stop funding these outlets, citing perceived political bias.
- The Corporation for Public Broadcasting allocates funds to over 386 local stations, many located in rural regions where federal grants account for a significant portion of their financial support.
- Advocates caution that the proposed cuts endanger the sustainability of public media, while Rep. Mark Amodei expressed that removing funding would undermine a reliable information resource for millions of people.
- A final House vote on the $9.4 billion rescission package is expected to pass largely along party lines, which could destabilize the public media ecosystem.
