The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is dissolving after more than $1 billion in funding was cut for the organization by Congress last year.

The CPB’s dissolution was triggered by the “rescission package” passed by Congress and signed by Trump in July 2025, which clawed back $1.1 billion in funding.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) will now dissolve, meaning public broadcasting is losing millions of dollars in federal funding.

CEO Patricia Harrison said CPB is protecting the integrity of the public media system by dissolving “rather than allowing the organization to remain defunded and vulnerable to additional attacks.”

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting board on Monday voted to dissolve the nonprofit that funds public media in Oklahoma and throughout the US.

After 58 years of service to the American public, the Board of Directors has formally voted to dissolve the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The decision follows Congress’s decision to rescind all federal funding at the behest of President Trump.

The end of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) marks the close of a defining chapter in American public media. It does not mark the end of our mission.

The finality of the decision, which follows Congress rescinding more than $1 billion in funding for CPB this summer, makes permanent what had appeared likely for months.
