The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announces shutdown following funding loss

  • On Friday, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting revealed plans to begin closing its operations by the end of September 2025.
  • This decision follows Congress canceling federal funding for CPB in the 2026 budget bill and a prior rescission of $1.1 billion requested by the Trump administration.
  • For nearly six decades, CPB has played a vital role in supporting over fifteen hundred community-based public radio and television outlets, delivering educational programs, emergency information, and fostering cultural connections nationwide.
  • President and CEO Patricia Harrison acknowledged that despite widespread public efforts to urge Congress to maintain funding, the organization must proceed with shutting down its operations.
  • Most employees will be laid off by September 30, 2025, with a small transition group staying on until January 2026 to finalize the shutdown process.
