Thaat totals over $1 million. 

They say less programs are likely in the future, and those relying on the free PBS programming will notice. 

They say children’s programming will remain a priority.

All the other radio and TV stations aren’t funded by the government and they are doing fine. You will too. Maybe if you weren’t an arm of the Democratic Party you wouldn’t be losing all your money.
