The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has helped build and sustain America's public radio and television system since the 1960s, will shut down after its board voted to dissolve the organisation in the wake of Congress' decision to strip it of federal funding.
The privately run, nonprofit corporation said the decision followed Congress' rescission of all federal support and came after what it described as sustained political attacks that made it impossible for CPB to continue operating as intended under the Public Broadcasting Act.
