The Corporation For Public Broadcasting Is Officially Dissolved

We should salt the Earth where it stood.

The 58-year-old non-profit Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is no more. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is all of us right now.
For decades, conservatives and Republican lawmakers have advocated for CPB to be stripped of its taxpayer funding for the very reasons Sen. Kennedy outlined in the video: Government should not be paying for Democrat agendas and leftist ideology like the concept of racist preschoolers or Ken Burns latest bullshitumentary about how horrible the founders really were. But Congress was never unified enough to cross that line. Thanks to the election of President Donald Trump and the 119th Congress under the leadership of Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (LA-04) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), somehow they found the testicular fortitude to cut CPB off the government teat. The hypocritical leftists who claimed funding the CPB was imperative because it was such a vital resource to the country couldn't even be bothered to make up the $1.1 billion deficit left by the rescission of government funding. So, the once vaunted organization that funded PBS, NPR, and certain affiliate stations took its final breath.

On December 10, 2025, CPB held a board meeting at which the directors unanimously voted to formally dissolve the corporation and for management to take all necessary steps to effectuate dissolution of the corporation.  Under the D.C. Non-Profit Code, a nonprofit corporation is required to provide Office of Attorney General (“OAG”) with advance notice of the corporation’s voluntary dissolution. D.C. Code § 29-412.02(g). Thereafter, a nonprofit corporation files Articles of Dissolution with the Mayor of D.C., through the Corporations Division (DCRA), after settling debts and distributing assets.  As a result, CPB intends to file its Notice of its Voluntary Dissolution on or about January 15, 2026 and its Articles of Dissolution on or about January 30, 2026.
