In reference to…?
Good to know that Car Talk is not on the chopping block. 
As a taxpayer, I was shocked to learn just how huge the CPB tax funding has been.
That said, I am hoping that much of PBS programming will continue being available somewhere that I am able to access on my personal budget. For decades, PBS has been my primary primetime TV choice. Shows such as Nature, Nova, American Experience, Masterpiece Theatre / Mystery, along with hundreds of other programs over the years have been so enjoyable. Shows such as those about lighthouses, railway journeys, national parks and lodges of the national parks, architecture, sciences, histories of many sorts, travel shows from around the world, etc. etc. etc. So, yes, if PBS survives such it still can show such an array of quality programming, I shall be a happy camper. If not, I foresee it becoming challenging for me to view such favorites on my budget.

IIRC you live around St Louis. I looked up the financial statements at Nine PBS. In 2024, government funding was 15.3% of the total. Much, if not all, can be made up with business and personal contributions. Any shortfall will mean reduced programming, but it won’t all go away.
