Good morning, Huntersville.

Federal lawmakers approved cuts that removed $1.1B in funding from CPB — money that supports nearly 30 North Carolina public radio stations — which could lead to future station closures.

WFDD lost about $300,000 and PBS North Carolina will lose over $4 million annually — with further cuts affecting WUNC 91.5 FM and WFAE 90.7 FM — prompting broadcasters to seek community donations.
