UPDATE - Jan 6, 2026
While the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's Board of Directors voted to dissolve CPB today, PBS SoCal is still here, serving the Southern California community. Thanks to Viewers Like You, we've received generous support in the months since the government voted to defund public media. We're proud to serve as the PBS member station for more than 22 million people and look forward continuing our service to you for many years to come. To help bolster our efforts, you can donate to PBS SoCal at the link in our bio.

Despite an extraordinary outpouring of public support—including nearly 100,000 calls and 2.9 million emails—Congress voted to eliminate $1.1 billion in previously approved federal funding for public media. For PBS SoCal and other stations across the country, these cuts will have real, lasting consequences for the communities we serve.

But our work continues. PBS SoCal remains dedicated to our mission to educate, inform and inspire the 18 million+ people who call Southern California home. We will continue serving our vital role in this community today, tomorrow, and in the years to come, as we build a new future for public media, without the long-time federal support that helped create the public broadcasting system as we know it today.

Alongside Viewers Like You, we’ll chart a path forward—because public media is too important to lose.

We need to be ready for what's next. Your support is more important than ever. Will you help us build a new and bright public media future? Visit the link in our bio to support PBS SoCal.

Last night, President Trump signed an executive order directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) to eliminate federal funding to PBS and NPR.

PBS SoCal has proudly served Southern California for over 60 years — and we’re committed to being here for generations to come. But protecting the future of Public Media requires all of us. Your support matters now more than ever — and it will likely be needed again in the months ahead as we continue to defend the essential services public media provides.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 aimed to give “a stronger voice to educational radio and television.” As a result, Public Media (non-commercial television and radio) stations around the country began to fulfill a collective mission to "educate, inform, and inspire."

For 60+ years, PBS SoCal has been an indispensable part of our Southern California communities, providing free, high-quality content and services, because we exist to serve the public good.
