Early this morning, Congress voted to strip away $1.1 billion in already approved funding for public broadcasting. This loss creates an immediate hole of $300,000 in KOSU’s budget.

Will you help us fill this funding gap? Donate at the link below.

Federal funding for KOSU has been eliminated. Here’s what comes next. In a devastating blow to public media, both chambers of the U.S. Congress voted to approve the President’s rescission request, stripping away $1.1 billion in already approved federal funding that KOSU and hundreds of public radio and TV stations across the country were depending on to continue to serve our community. The measure is now headed to the President’s desk and will be signed into law imminently. This moment cannot be the end of the fight for local public media. This is the beginning of an inflection point. KOSU's essential services must survive and thrive. We must continue serving the interests of Oklahomans, our audience. We must continue to serve you. This loss of federal funding creates an immediate hole of $300,000 in our budget. The future of public media now hinges on the support of our community partners, like you. Your contribution right now is vital — you are the bedrock that will ensure we can continue. Will you help to fill this funding gap by making a donation or increasing your monthly gift to KOSU? Every request for support we make, every dollar we bring in, and every member we mobilize will determine what comes next for the essential news, music, stories and connections our communities rely on. We will navigate this difficult path, but only with your support. You can sign up for alerts and find out more information at kosu.org/cuts. Thank you, Rachel Hubbard KOSU Executive Director

I get it. Those conventions seem long ago but both were < one year ago. The election happened less than eight months ago. The current administration has been in power for fewer than six months.

The stories, concerns, hopes, and predictions are all still very immediate. It is still a great listen.
