The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) has voted to shut itself down after Congress rescinded roughly $1.1 billion in federal funding, leaving the organization without the resources needed to continue operating. CPB was created in 1967 under the Public Broadcasting Act and has long served as the main federal funding channel for public media in the United States. It did not produce shows itself. Instead, it distributed federal dollars and support to more than 1,500 local public radio and television stations across the country. With the funding cut and no replacement mechanism in place, CPB’s board approved a plan to wind down operations and dissolve the organization. What CPB Actually Did CPB’s role was often misunderstood. It was not a network like PBS or NPR. Instead, CPB: * Distributed federal funding to local PBS and NPR member stations * Helped support local journalism, educational programming, and cultural content * Funded infrastructure for emergency alerts and public safety broadcasting * Provided stability for smaller and rural stations that lacked large donor bases For many stations, CPB funding covered essential operating costs rather than flashy programming. So what does this mean for viewers and listeners right now? PBS and NPR Are Not Shutting Down Overnight PBS and NPR still exist and will continue to produce and distribute national programming. Shows like PBS NewsHour, Nature, All Things Considered, and Morning Edition are not being immediately canceled. These networks receive funding from: * Individual donations and memberships * Corporate underwriting * Foundations and grants The loss of CPB does not automatically take national programming off the air. Local Stations Are the Most Affected The biggest impact will be felt at the local station level, especially in rural areas and smaller markets. Without CPB funding, some stations may: * Cut local news reporting and community-focused shows * Reduce staff or production budgets * Limit educational or children’s programming * Shut down entirely if alternative funding cannot be secured How severe the impact is will vary widely depending on how much each station relied on CPB money. Programming May Change Over Time While major national shows are expected to continue, viewers and listeners may notice changes such as: * Fewer locally produced programs * Reduced coverage of local government, schools, and community issues * Less experimental or niche cultural content These changes are likely to roll out gradually rather than all at once. Emergency and Community Services Could Be Reduced Public broadcasting stations often play a key role in: * Weather and disaster alerts * Emergency communications in rural areas * Community information during crises If stations lose operational funding, maintaining these services may become more difficult in certain regions. Can Donations Replace the Lost Funding? Some stations have already seen a spike in donations following news of the funding cuts. Philanthropic organizations have also stepped in to help in the short term. However, donations alone may not fully replace the stability that federal funding provided, especially for stations serving low-income or sparsely populated areas. The Bottom Line for Viewers * PBS and NPR are not disappearing immediately * The biggest changes will happen behind the scenes at local stations * Smaller and rural communities are likely to feel the impact first * Programming and services may slowly shrink rather than abruptly vanish For viewers and listeners, the real question is not whether public media survives, but how local and community-focused it will be without federal support.

Season 2 of At Our Table kicks off in Los Angeles with Mayor Karen Bass, who takes us on her journey as a public servant and explains why she left Congress to come home and lead a city in crisis. We also dig into affordability and the policies that push people onto the streets and how her team has fought homelessness by cutting red tape and fixing broken systems. We also talk wildfire recovery, climate extremes, and the misinformation that fuels blame. Then Mayor Bass gets real about ICE raids, protests, and why nonviolent pushback matters.

Marlon Wayans is making it clear that a little online tension is not enough to block a possible bag or a future blockbuster. Video During Sunday’s episode of the "We in Miami Podcast," the 53-year-old comedian and filmmaker opened up about his recent back and forth with 50 Cent, explaining that the situation was brief and never that deep. Wayans described himself as a workaholic who stays focused to avoid unnecessary drama. “You ain't never gonna read, ‘Marlon did dumb s**t,’ aside beefing with 50 Cent,” he joked. The short lived spat sparked after Wayans referenced karma while reacting to Fifty’s involvement in the Netflix docuseries, "Sean Combs: The Reckoning." But according to Wayans, the moment passed quickly once he took a step back. “I was having a cigar and I was thinking about it. I was just like, ‘What example do I want? Is this an example of two black men with two businesses, fighting in public?’ It's not good for my culture.” Wayans stressed that the exchange was never serious, calling it “just two n***as on the block,” and said the bigger picture mattered more than winning an argument online. When asked if he would work with Fifty in the future, Wayans did not hesitate. “I’m already thinking about putting him in my next movie,” he said. “I got some action stuff I'm doing. I think he could be an incredible star.” He even pitched the idea himself, adding, “A buddy action comedy with me and this n***a… that’s what people wanna see.”
