The Corporation for Public Broadcasting

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is a nonprofit organization established by the U.S. government in 1967 to support and promote public media. It provides funding to public television and radio stations, enabling them to produce diverse programming that serves the public interest. CPB plays a crucial role in ensuring access to educational, informative, and cultural content, particularly in communities that might not receive it through commercial media. By supporting independent programming, CPB helps promote a more informed and engaged citizenry while safeguarding the principles of public service broadcasting.
