The Corporation for Public Broadcasting was created by Congress in 1967 and distributes funding to 1,500 locally owned public radio and TV stations across the USA.
In his proposed 2021 budget President Trump calls for the elimination of CPB over a two-year period.
The President has tried to eliminate CPB before, each time he gets blocked by Congress. The $465 million approved by Congress last year was the first increase in funding the organization had seen in 10 years.
