ORLANDO, Fla. — Local public media stations in Central Florida are facing significant funding losses following federal budget cuts approved by Congress.
Congress has approved more than $1 billion in cuts to public media, impacting stations like WUCF and Central Florida Public Media.
WUCF is expected to lose more than $2 million annually, while Central Florida Public Media anticipates a loss of about $300,000 each year.
The budget cuts have prompted local stations to seek additional donor support to offset the financial shortfall.
These cuts could potentially affect programming and services.
