Federal support was an integral part of helping tribal stations broadcast to their communities. With funding cut, these stations must now close significant revenue gaps — or risk going off the air for good.

Without federal support, public radio stations across the country will go silent. That means no emergency alerts, no local reporting, and no trusted public programming. It’s not just about losing content — it’s about losing connection.

Americans rely on public radio for their safety. When disasters strike — like flooding in Texas, tsunamis in Alaska & Hawaii, or hurricanes in North Carolina — and internet and phone access goes down, public radio provides invaluable reliability and connection that keeps communities safe.
From local sounds and news, to the national programming enjoyed by millions, public radio is the familiar soundtrack Americans turn to in their homes, their cars, and their communities — every day.
