Yes, that's true -- largely because local, original programming is relatively expensive to produce. Ideally, we would properly fund our public media so they could produce much more local programming (especially given the local journalism crisis and ever-expanding news deserts), not less.

Here are the most affected stations. Those in rural Alaska and near Native American tribal lands are lifelines, often carrying not only community news but emergency weather information thst literally saves lives.
