The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the non-profit that directed congressional funds to public television and radio stations like NPR and PBS since 1967, voted on Monday to officially dissolve.

The decision follows the Congress defunding CPB last summer. President Donald Trump urged the move and has frequently accused the public media of liberal bias.

CPB has long served as a financial backbone for hundreds of local radio and television stations. Its dissolution marks a significant shift in the American media landscape.

To ensure its content remains accessible, CPB is collaborating with the American Archive of Public Broadcasting and the University of Maryland to preserve its records.
