A bill to claw back $1.1 billion in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds public radio and television, will be voted on by the House on Thursday evening. The legislation has already passed the Senate, on a largely partisan vote. We’ll talk to the president of KQED and representatives from other public radio and television outlets about the impacts these cuts will have on their mission to provide free public programming to their communities.
Guests:
Michael Isip, president and CEO, KQED
David Folkenflik, media correspondent, NPR News
Brian Duggan, general manager, KUNR and KNCC
Kate Riley, president and CEO, America's Public Television Stations
Andre de Channes, general manager and director of operations, KZYX
