Public media is facing an unprecedented threat, and your voice is urgently needed.
In recent weeks, federal efforts have moved toward eliminating funding for public broadcasting with a proposal sent to Congress that would eliminate all federal funding for public media — including KSMQ.
If approved, this would jeopardize the essential support that allows KSMQ and public media stations nationwide to deliver free, high-quality programming, trusted news, and educational services that benefit our communities. We’re asking you to stand with KSMQ today.
Please contact your elected officials and urge them to protect federal funding for public media. you can easily reach out at ProtectMyPublicMedia.org—it only takes a minute to make a difference. You can also support KSMQ directly by donating at ksmq.org/donate. Your contribution helps keep independent, local stories alive—and ensures our communities stay connected through trusted public media.
