Corporation for Public Broadcasting

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB; stylized in all lowercase as cpb) is an American non-profit corporation created under the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 to promote and help support public broadcasting in the United States. The corporation's mission was to ensure universal access to non-commercial, high-quality educational, cultural, and other content and telecommunications services. CPB received annual funding from Congress from 1967 until 2025. As of 2015 it had distributed more than 70 percent of its funding to more than 1,500 locally owned public radio and television stations, including Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR) stations. In particular, CPB funding was a key part of small and rural public media station budgets. In July 2025, the Rescissions Act of 2025 was passed by the 119th United States Congress and signed into law by Donald Trump, cutting all federal funding for CPB. In August 2025, CPB announced plans to shut down on January 2026 due to a lack of federal funding.
