The rescissions package the Senate approved early Thursday pulls more than $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that provides federal funding for NPR and PBS.

The rescissions revised package passed by a vote of 51-48, with Republican Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski joining Democrats in voting against it.

Public broadcasting stations in the state are bracing for big changes. In Moline, WQPT’s general manager Dawn Schmitt said the TV station expects to have to cut staffing — and the amount of community service it provides.

Tribal stations are often the sole source of news, cultural programming and vital weather alerts in Indian Country. Radio industry leaders warn the cuts could leave millions without those essential services.

If the rescission bill passes, $1.1 billion of funding will be cut from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, limiting public radio’s ability to license music.
