The goal is to stop taxpayer funding of the outfit. If taxpayers are providing only 1% of their revenue, then they don't need federal support for their operations and the hysterical accounts of losing federal funding costing numerous jobs and loss of signal in rural areas has been a lie from the get go. What they will be losing is the money they were laundering as political contributions to primarily one party, and that can't be anything other than a good deal for all of the federal taxpayers, right?

Anyone up here use NPR solely for their weather alerts?

I don't. Can't find a public radio station. Pretty much only 850KOA where I am

I mainly use the phone text alerts. .

I am also in an area of poor radio reception and was a big listener to 850 AM but they sometimes have a signal reduction causing no reception and they have hours on end of baseball that I couldn't care less about. I now tune into 760AM which has a strong signal and I can also listen to it on a I Heart phone app linked to my car radio when traveling in and out of poor reception areas.

NPR and PBS might actually increase their income this year as fans step into fill the lost 1% gap.

There’s too much free competition out there and I doubt lefty listeners are going to pony up to help a sinking ship. Maybe they will also watch Colbert more so his unfunny ass stays on tv longer.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

In the 1960's, when we only had three TV networks and a few radio stations, it made sense to have a government alternative, like the BBC, but with the internet and satellite programming, we no longer need them and their own ratings as a percentage of the population have tanked. No one is watching anymore. End the checks.

Why should any biased propaganda arm of either party get taxpayer dollars? If the listeners don’t want to shell out dollars to help their confirmation bias machine, then it shouldn’t survive.

Exactly!

Imagine how liberals would scream if Trump gave government funding to Newsmax?
