WTVP | At Issue with Mark Welp
The Trump administration has rescinded 1.1 billion dollars in federal funding to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the organization that distributes money to PBS and National Public Radio. We’re looking at what this means for our TV and radio stations in central Illinois.
WTVP | Announcement
As a community licensed station that has for 50 years relied on the structure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to receive important federal support to fund station operations, we are deeply saddened that the CPB is now in a position where they must take steps to shut down.
WTVP | NOW
The loss of historic federal funding for PBS leaves WTVP with a funding gap. But WTVP is well-positioned to not only survive but thrive through a generous matching grant, exciting plans for the future and the powerful support of the central Illinois community. WTVP CEO Jenn Gordon and Board Chairman John Wieland discuss the We Believe in WTVP campaign.
