From Breitbart:

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) announced Friday it will begin an “orderly wind-down” of its operations after President Donald Trump signed an executive order halting funds to NPR and PBS, followed by Congress passing a rescissions bill and the Senate releasing a FY 2026 appropriations bill that excluded CPB funding for the first time since its founding.

“For the first time in more than five decades, CPB has been excluded from the federal budget,” the organization stated, referencing the newly released Senate Appropriations Committee’s FY 2026 Labor-HHS bill. “Despite the extraordinary efforts of millions of Americans who called, wrote, and petitioned Congress to preserve federal funding for CPB, we now face the difficult reality of closing our operations.”

Breitbart notes that this decision came after many in Washington worked to defund the corporation. In May, President Trump signed an executive order halting funds to NPR and PBS, citing concerns of political bias. Then, in July, Congress passed a recissions package that cut $1.1 billion in funding from the CPB.

Conservatives have despised CPB, NPR, and PBS for some time now, accusing the organizations of overt political bias in their programming. In fact, IFA CEO David Kubal prayed about this bias on a recent First Friday webcast. in which he and Troy Miller, head of National Religious Broadcasters, prayed that the funding cuts would lead to less bias.

To many, the shutdown of the CPB is an answer to prayer. The President and Republican lawmakers fought for funding cuts to stop taxpayer-funded, biased media, and now they are seeing clear results. Let’s thank God and continue to pray for an end to biased media created with taxpayer money!
