Protect My GBH

Public media is under threat. A recent Executive Order has directed the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to cut funding for PBS and NPR. On top of that, the White House has formally asked Congress to rescind federal funding that had already been appropriated for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

This effort would zero out any funds that have already been approved by Congress for Fiscal Year 26 and Fiscal Year 27. This has never happened before.

These actions are part of a broader trend that puts public media at risk. Congress has 45 days to approve the rescission request. If Congress does not approve the rescission request, the funds will be used as originally intended—to continue to produce the news, information, and programs that you love.

Your voice can make a difference. Contact your congressional representatives today and urge them to oppose efforts to rescind federal funding for public media. Help us protect public media by sharing why it matters to you and your community.

We have a legacy of innovation.

We created how-to television with the advent of Julia Child’s The French Chef and This Old House. We’re also proud of our rich history in accessibility, as we were the first to introduce and use closed captions and audio descriptions for broadcast, and continue to innovate in the space today.
