Corporation for Public Broadcasting Says It’s Shutting Down After Trump-Led Cancellation of Federal Funding

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting announced that it’s shutting down after nearly six decades.

In mid-July, Congress approved Trump’s rescission package, which cut $1.1 billion in funding for CPB over the next two years that had previously been approved.
