Patricia Harrison accepts Governors Award as Corporation for Public Broadcasting closes

Corporation for Public Broadcasting CEO Patricia Harrison accepted a Governors Award as the organization shuts down due to loss of federal funding. The CPB, established in 1967, distributed grants to public media, with about 70% going to local stations. Harrison questioned public value and the impact of funding cuts. The CPB's closure follows rescinded federal funding and marks the end of its nearly six-decade role in supporting public broadcasting nationwide.
