They defunded the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was the government agency that sent funds to PBS members. PBS itself is independent. CPB only amounted to $200,000 pa. Its a significant hit, but not existential for PBS members. They may have to reduce their ambitions, while the major ones such as WGBH will experience very little impact as they can dip into other sources of funding.
