US EditionNPR can use federal funds while lawsuit against Trump's public media cuts continues
NPR secured a $36 million contract to maintain its public radio network while continuing legal efforts against a 2025 executive order that cuts federal funding.
- On Monday, the settlement requires NPR to receive approximately $36,000,000 to operate the public radio interconnection system, partially resolving its legal dispute with CPB.
- NPR accused the Corporation for Public Broadcasting of bowing to pressure after President Donald Trump issued a May 1 executive order and said he would 'love to' defund NPR and PBS.
- NPR has long run the Public Radio Satellite System since 1985, with Katherine Maher calling the settlement a victory for editorial independence while Patricia Harrison and CPB attorneys denied retaliation.
- The settlement says National Public Radio and Corporation for Public Broadcasting agree the executive order is unconstitutional and CPB will not enforce it unless a court orders otherwise, but NPR's lawsuit continues with a hearing set for Dec. 4.
- With litigation continuing, National Public Radio alleges Corporation for Public Broadcasting redirected funds to an entity that didn't exist, while CPB argues NPR's claims are legally meritless.
