How could funding cuts to NPR affect community radio stations across the region?

The Trump administration has promised to cut funding for many federal programs, including the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. CPB funds public media like PBS, NPR, and other radio stations. KZMU is not funded through CPB, but our listeners benefit from the hard work of many partner stations that are. Today, we speak with Breeze Richardson, executive director of Aspen Public Radio and board president of the Rocky Mountain Radio Coalition, a network of regional stations that includes KZMU. We’ll talk about what these cuts could mean for stations throughout the coalition, and why local radio matters.
