I've been collecting stories about how #CPBFundingCuts will affect specific stations. I'll be posting those shortly, but this seemed to be a good place to start...
#CorporationForPublicBroadcasting, funder of #NPR and #PBS, says it will end operations within months after federal budget cuts
By Kerry Breen
Updated on: August 1, 2025Excerpt: "Maher warned that #defunding #PublicRadio poses 'a real risk to the #PublicSafety of the country.' She said some NPR stations receive 'more than 50% of their budget' from federal funding and may face layoffs and station closures.
"#Rural areas would feel the largest impacts, Maher said. Local stations also provide vital alerts in #emergencies like #storms, #floods and #wildfires."

#Trump Cuts to #PublicMedia Threaten #NativeAmerican Stations That Protect #Culture & #PublicHealth, Issue Alerts
July 18, 2025"We speak to Loris Taylor, president of #NativePublicMedia, about the Trump administration’s drastic #defunding of public media and its impact on tribal nations. Fifty-nine #TribalRadioStations and one tribal #TelevisionStation that depend on federal funding will be among the first to face possible closure, putting some of the essential services that #PublicBroadcasting provides, including warning systems for missing #IndigenousWomen and girls, at risk.
"Taylor shares how Native-led public media helps preserve #IndigenousLanguages and helped keep communities informed during the peak of the COVID-19 #pandemic. She fears that without these same resources and 'with the #ClimateCrisis increasing, [we] are going to be operating on the margins of information and are not going to have real lifesaving information available to our citizens when they need it most.' "

As the #UNRWA #defunding is being exposed as yet another #dodgydossier, akin to the #WMD fabrication that justified the #IraqWar, I only just came across this story about #Israel bombing the #Belgian Aid office in #Gaza, a clear retaliation after #Belgium refused to cut the aid to UNRWA. How long exactly will the rest of the EU stand by (#Germany #Finland #Italy)? https://www.commondreams.org/news/israel-belgium-unrwa
