I'm going to miss pbs and npr in the long term it was nice having *some free content just to turn into. (In the us, radio and tv antenna broadcasts are free to the viewer as of 2025 Apr 16.

Both being nonprofits they, gave me access to *free non commercial airings of Charlie Brown holiday specials, and other animated content. Npr, was particularly special as it gave me some free local social and news and political commentary that I like listening to. Npr as of today is still available on radio luckily, but the risk of losing it due to possibly being refunded is not pleasant to me.

Then be sure to donate so you can keep NPR alive. If they have enough content that people enjoy, then people should be fine paying for it. But no reason I should pay for NPR just so you can listen to it free.

That is how taxes work for nonprofits, if something is public and no profit, they get grants and tax deductible donations.

NPR makes plenty of profit though.
