Use of DataUpdate 1/5/26: The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has voted to dissolve after Congress rescinded its federal funding, effectively ending the organization created in 1967 to support PBS, NPR, and local public media stations. CPB leaders said the decision was made to avoid operating as a diminished entity and to preserve the integrity of public broadcasting’s legacy as the organization winds down operations.
Read Congress in the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.
CPB is the steward of the federal government’s investment in public broadcasting and the largest single source of funding for public radio, television, and related online and mobile services.
CPB’s mission is to ensure universal access to non-commercial, high-quality content and telecommunications services. It does so by distributing more than 70% of its funding to more than 1,500 locally owned public radio and television stations.
