After almost 60 years of funding public media, the Corp for Public Broadcasting is shutting down.

With federal funding gone, most of CPB’s roughly 100 staffers will be laid off on Sept. 30, and a slim transition team will stick around only until January 2026.

This move ends CPB’s role as the primary grantmaker for outlets like PBS and NPR, marking a major shake-up in how public broadcasting is financed.
