Public broadcasting in the United States

In the United States, other than a few direct services, public broadcasting is almost entirely decentralized and is not operated by the government, but receives some government support. In July 2025, Congress approved a spending bill that terminated all federal funding for public broadcasting, including PBS and NPR. == Background == The U.S. public broadcasting system differs from such systems in other countries, in that the principal public television and radio broadcasters – the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and National Public Radio (NPR), respectively – operate as separate entities.
