The Wild Hunt · "Defund NPR and PBS" Act Gains Traction Amidst Partisan Debate Over Public Media FundingBy Manny Moreno

IDK. I think people would care about #NPR and #PBS if they weren't so pretentious. I watch/read alot of nrk.no for language immersion in #norwegian, and there are some FUN shows on there, radio, podcasts, and that's just what's free, but it's state funded. For the "good stuff" ,e very year you pay a tax for NRK, but you get a lot for that! #news nytimes.com/2025/04/01/briefin

The New York Times · Cutting Off NPR and PBSBy Benjamin Mullin

In February 2011, #NPR assembled a 36-page document that detailed exactly what would happen if the Corporation for Public Broadcasting was scuttled:

- Up to 18% of roughly 1,000 member stations would close.
- The Midwest, the South and the West would be affected the most.
- Nationwide, up to 30% of listeners would lose access to NPR programming.
