The Trump administration has cut over $1 billion in federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, impacting PBS and NPR stations nationwide. Spokane's KSPS PBS lost approximately 20% of its federal funding, leading to staff reductions (17%) and program cancellations. Interim General Manager Skyler Reep emphasizes the importance of public media and the challenges posed by the funding cut. While donations have temporarily increased, a long-term sustainable plan is needed. KSPS PBS, which has provided research-based children’s programs and world-class documentaries for decades, will focus on hyper-local content to continue serving the community.
