Starting this October, Iowa's public media will operate without federal support. President Donald Trump has signed legislation clawing back funds from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, impacting public television and radio stations across the country.
On this episode we talk with the leaders of Iowa Public Radio and Iowa PBS about what these cuts mean for their organizations, as well as the general manager of Iowa’s only Jazz-formatted public radio station on how this impacts their programming.
Iowa PBS is an underwriter of IPR.
Guests:
- Andrew Batt, executive director and general manager, Iowa PBS
- Myrna Johnson, executive director, Iowa Public Radio
- Dennis Green, general manager, Jazz 88.3 KCCK
