Corporation For Public Boadcasting To Shut Down
« on: January 07, 2026, 01:43:25 PM »
Corporation for Public Broadcasting votes itself out of existence
By  DAVID BAUDER
Leaders of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private agency that has steered federal funding to PBS, NPR and hundreds of public television and radio stations across the country, voted Monday to dissolve the organization that was created in 1967.

CPB had been winding down since Congress acted last summer to defund its operations at the encouragement of President Donald Trump. Its board of directors chose Monday to shutter CPB completely instead of keeping it in existence as a shell.

If it is so popular why not take on regular advertisers like every other channel?
