President Trump has called public media a ‘monstrosity’ that deserves to be defunded, despite millions of US viewers.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting says it will wind down its operations after the Trump administration and Congress slashed its funding. The organization funds PBS and NPR, as well as more than 1,500 local TV and radio stations.

The closure marks a victory in Donald Trump’s war against public media. The CPB’s announcement cites the federal recissions package, which clawed back $1.1 billion in previously approved funding for the organization, and its exclusion from a fiscal spending bill for the first time in over five decades.
