America’s two big public broadcasters, PBS and NPR, have 45 days to salvage their federal funding — starting now.

WASHINGTON - The House Rules Committee on Tuesday will mark up a $9 billion-plus rescissions package from the White House, setting the stage for a floor vote next week that will immediately implement the cuts.

The Trump administration formally requested a rescission of funds for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, seeking to halt federal funding to PBS and NPR.
