Is Congress About to Kill This Local Radio Station?

From the moment President Trump and Republicans took control of Washington this year, they set out to turn their longtime threats against public media, which they see as biased, into action.

Now, a piece of Republican legislation would cut more than a billion dollars from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which finances PBS and NPR.

Guests:

  • Jessica Cheung, a senior audio producer at The New York Times
  • Tom Abbott, the general manager of KFSK-FM in Petersburg, Alaska
