WTH??!! CPB was laundering tax dollars to "not affiliated with NPR", privately owned radio stations. That proclaim to be "non-partisan"??!!-----Congress Pulls Funding for Public Radio: Help Save 103.7 The Beat

Over 50% of our funding comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) - July 23, 2025 
Note: This is NOT a criticism of any radio station accepting money from CPB. WUVS, a PRIVATE company, seems to do a pretty good job informing/entertaining. This is pure "We thought CPB was promoting NPR/PBS. WTH else has CPB been doing with American's money!")
"We are not just a radio station—we are a nonprofit committed to service.
But today, we’re facing a serious threat to our future.
Last Friday, Congress voted to eliminate federal funding for public broadcasting—cutting support even for stations like ours that are not affiliated with NPR. 
Over 50% of our funding comes from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), and without it, continuing our mission will be an uphill battle.
According to AdoptAStation.org, 103.7 The Beat is among the hardest hit stations in the country by this devastating funding cut.
  • And we believe it’s important to say this loud and clear:
  • We have always been a non-partisan radio station...
This balanced, community-focused approach is exactly what’s being lost with the removal of public funding...
