Contrary to some folks' fears/cheers, PBS and NPR are not shutting down.

But the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's plan to wind down operations after being defunded by the Republican-controlled Congress will likely have a negative impact on local public media stations across the country.

Corporation for Public Broadcasting says it's shutting down

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funnels federal money to public media stations, says it's winding down operations after President Trump signed a law rescinding all funding.

🚨 The “Big Beautiful Bill” just passed—but it's BAD for GA & Gwinnett:

❌ Cuts SNAP & Medicaid
❌ Blocks student loan relief
❌ Ends clean energy jobs
❌ Hurts low-income families & seniors
Starts Oct 1, 2025.
