Congress Negotiating Legislation That Could Protect Local Public Media Stations

Right now, Congress is actively negotiating final funding legislation, including whether local public media stations will receive renewed federal support. With the Corporation for Public Broadcasting set to close, these decisions will shape the future strength and accessibility of local public media stations across the country.

For nearly 60 years, federal funding has made it possible for local public media stations to deliver local stories and reporting, educational resources, and emergency information to everyone, regardless of income of zip code. Choices being made right now will determine whether that local service can continue in every community.

This is one of the final chances this fiscal year for the public to weigh in. Visit ProtectMyPublicMedia.org to show your support for WHUT and public media stations across the country.
