How is public media funded?
Every year, we ask Congress for public media funding. The funding supports specific programs that enable your local public radio and television stations to deliver high-quality noncommercial programs and services that you can’t find elsewhere.
Ways To Take Action
Federal funding ensures that your local public radio and TV stations can continue to give you access to essential educational, local, and cultural programming; trustworthy, in-depth news; and emergency and community-based services. Here are three things you can do today to keep public media strong.
