NPR and PBS member stations with smaller budgets will struggle to stay on the air if Congress nixes current funding, public media executives warn.

The article from Yahoo News discusses the dire financial situation faced by rural public media stations in the United States, exacerbated by the economic impacts of the global health crisis. It highlights how these stations, crucial for providing news and emergency information to remote communities, are struggling with reduced donations and sponsorships. The piece mentions specific examples like KZYX in Mendocino County, California, which has had to cut staff and programming due to a significant budget shortfall. The article also notes efforts by organizations like the National Federation of Community Broadcasters to seek federal aid to help these stations survive, emphasizing the importance of these media outlets in maintaining informed and connected rural communities.
