Congress Has Cut Federal Funding for Public Media

With the passage of the Rescissions Act of 2025, federal support for public media has not only been eliminated moving forward — it’s also being pulled back for the current fiscal year.

WITF is deeply grateful for your continued advocacy. Now, more than ever, we need your help to sustain the trusted news, educational programming and emergency communications our community relies on.

If you’re not yet a sustaining member, please consider starting a monthly gift.

Already give? You can make an even greater impact by increasing your monthly support or making a one-time contribution today.

Human Nature a NOVA special

  • Fred Vigeant/WITF

Our DNA can determine attributes from eye color to medical predispositions. An extraordinary technology called CRISPR allows us to edit human DNA, possibly eliminating genetic diseases or choosing our children’s features. But how far should we go?

Watch the premiere of NOVA in a special two-hour broadcast Wednesday September 9 at 8:00pm on WITF.  NOVA: Human Nature will also be available for on-demand viewing through the PBS Video App.
