The move by CPB — which has provided funding to PBS and NPR — to wind down comes after President Trump led a successful effort to defund public media. In mid-July, Congress approved to Trump’s rescission package, which cut $1.1 billion for CPB over the next two years.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced on Friday that it would begin winding down its operations after President Donald Trump rescinded $1.1 billion in funding for the nonprofit, which for decades has helped sustain NPR, PBS, and hundreds of local public media stations across the country.

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.
