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.

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

CPB, which includes PBS and NPR, announced on Friday that it would "wind down" operations after its funding was slashed for the first time in over 50 years.
