What is the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB)?
The CPB is an independent, nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1967 with two primary functions: to serve as a firewall between partisan politics and public broadcasting, and to help fund programming, stations and technology. It is neither NPR nor PBS, but rather distributes federal funding directly to local stations like LRPR.
