The House Has Voted to Rescind Public Media Funding
This vote threatens federal support for programming on WITF — putting at risk educational programming, trusted news and emergency communications that our community depends on produced locally and from PBS and NPR. Now the proposal heads to the Senate.
Your voice is urgently needed. Call your senator and donate today to help protect the future of local public media.
