After the Trump controlled American Congress officially passed a budget rescission package which included the full elimination of federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), many radios are in critical condition.
Suzanne Nance, President & CEO of All Classical Radio says that this decision cancels $500,000 in annual support previously approved by Congress for her station: « This is not just a number. That funding sustains the music, voices, and stories you rely on every day. It helps us broadcast performances from local artists, bring music education to children, and keep classical music freely accessible to all, regardless of income, location, or background. The loss of this funding places everything we do at risk. »
Nance continues: « We have a plan to operate without future federal funding, but we need additional help during this very challenging transition. »
Therefore the radio created a donation page in the internet, hoping that the listener’s financial investment « will help us bridge this devastating funding gap and continue serving our community with unmatched, locally produced programming. »
