House Appropriations Committee OKs CPB Funding Boost
The House Appropriations Committee has proposed to increase funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, approving the recommendation of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies, which in April approved a funding boost of $50 million (or about 15%) to $495 million for fiscal year 2022. The subcommittee also approved full funding of $20 million for interconnection and infrastructure, which the full committee also approved.
