WTVP PBS Responds to Loss of Federal Funding with Forward Looking Message

On July 17, Congress passed the H.R. 4 Rescission Package which included clawing back previously approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to fund PBS stations across the country like WTVP. Historically, funding from the CPB has made up about 30% of WTVP’s budget, or about $1 million annually.
