Late last week, the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives voted to pass a bill that includes the cancellation of nearly $1.1 billion dollars in federal funds for public media – funds that Congress had previously approved for this year and next. The bill now goes to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign the measure into law. STLPR’s interim general manager Jess Luther and Vicki Boutwell, Vice President and Chief Planning Officer at Nine PBS share what the St. Louis region stands to lose.
