With funding for PBS eliminated from the House spending bill, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is pushing for money for public broadcasting.
New York’s junior senator is leading the quest for $575 million in federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
The corporation provides direct support to PBS and NPR.
