The rescission package before us today would hurt communities that all of us have the privilege of representing. There are 120 rural public media stations that receive at least 25% of their revenue from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Members of this committee represent nearly two thirds of these stations, including WOJB serving northwestern Wisconsin and beyond from the Lacuderet Reservation in Hayward, Wisconsin. My question for you. Did you analyze the impact of this rescission proposal on local public radio and television stations? Yes or no? We always analyze everything. (00:28–00:45)
