Learn how you can Protect and Sustain West Virginia Public Broadcasting.
U.S. Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., says public broadcasting will have to find other ways to sustain itself after she voted to eliminate its federal funding.
Capito was among 51 Republicans who voted at 2 a.m. Thursday to strip $1.1 billion in already approved funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
West Virginia Public Broadcasting and other public media organizations, especially in rural regions, rely on federal funding to support their operations.
Early last year, Capito received an award from America’s Public Television Stations for her support of public broadcasting.
But President Donald Trump threatened to withdraw his endorsement of anyone who voted against the rescission package. Capito is up for reelection next year.
“I’d like to see West Virginia Public Broadcasting and our local radio be able to sustain itself through other mechanisms, whether it’s more state funding, more donations,” she said.
Capito’s father, Arch Moore, was a member of the House of Representatives who voted to create public broadcasting on Sept. 21, 1967.
