@Elindur this is good.

  • I just wish the folks at @ZDF follow suit and not just upload Löwenzahn but also keep KiKa as FTA station on air way beyond 2033, because for many kids, this is propably the only non for-profit media they can access on their own!
    • Maybe insteadvthey should cancel 5+ redundant WDR transponders which only differ from their "Aktuelle Stunde" [Regional News Bulletin] and instead have them rotate, or stop wasting millions if not billions on broadcasting rights for sportswashing like FIFA…

#PBS #NPR - On Thursday, June 4, local public media stations, partners, and advocates are uniting for Protect My Public Media Day, a national moment to protect the future of local, noncommercial service.

This year’s theme, Locally Rooted. Rising Together., reflects the spirit of the day: locally grounded service, collective action, and shared commitment to protecting the future of local public media stations.

Here’s how you can help on June 4:
Take action: Contact your Members of Congress and urge them to restore federal funding for local public media stations.
Share your story: Record a short video message or submit a brief testimonial about what your local public media station means to you, how it has shaped your life or how it strengthens your community.
Spread the word: Post on social media and encourage others to rise in support of their local public media stations. #PublicMedia #PublicBroadcasting

#NPR is "restructuring" news arm and has offered buyout to 300+ staffers, mostly in newsgathering, as network expects to earn $15M less in station fees . This follows deep cuts of hundreds of local affiliate employees in 2024 as stations have all tightened belts as federal funding for local #PublicBroadcasting in #Drumpf era dried up due to #ExecutiveOrder.
