How Trump’s cuts to NPR funding will hurt WFUV—Fordham University’s storied public radio station
America Magazine 07-23-2025
“This month, Congress voted to rescind $1.1 billion in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, cutting all federal support for NPR, PBS and their member stations. While this will hurt public media throughout the country, it will also affect us personally. We are full-time college students who have become distressingly familiar with watching funds be torn away from institutions of higher education throughout the country. But we are also full-time reporters for WFUV-FM (90.7), an NPR-affiliated public radio station based at Fordham University in the Bronx,” wrote Andrew McDonald and Alexandra Pfau, Fordham University students.
Loss of federal funds threatens public NY radio stations, but for now the band plays on
Times-Herald Record 07-23-2025
WFUV’s stake is more modest: its $500,000 grant loss will suck away 7% of its nearly $7 million budget. But the cuts Republican House members passed on Friday, July 18, will open an even bigger hole — as much as $900,000 — because the station also must assume new costs such as music licensing fees that will no longer be paid by National Public Radio. The damage is painful but not fatal. “We have a big commitment to our community, and we’re not going anywhere,” general manager Chuck Singleton said in an interview.
