US EditionNPR Seeks Court Intervention to Block $57.9 Million Grant From The Corporation For Public Broadcasting
NPR challenges CPB’s plan to reallocate $57.9 million in satellite funding to a new consortium amid federal cuts that end support for 1,500 public media stations.
- On Tuesday, NPR asked a federal judge to block the Corporation for Public Broadcasting from transferring more than $35 million in satellite funding to Public Media Infrastructure, with U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss setting a hearing that morning.
- The Rescissions Act of 2025 eliminated federal appropriations for public broadcasting for two years after Congressional Republicans, at President Donald Trump's urging, stripped approved funding.
- CPB is preparing to distribute the remaining $7.1 million in Community Service Grant funds, with public television stations receiving $15,680 and radio grantees getting between $5,370 and $26,582 each.
- Through its chief spokesperson, CPB said late Friday it is confident its actions serve the public media system, while NPR Chief Executive Katherine Maher says the move `threatens NPR's contractual relationships with the Interconnected Stations.`
- NPR and three Colorado member stations are already suing the White House over Trump's May order banning CPB from spending federal money on NPR, while NPR says CPB told it in early April it would soon receive funding.
