KEEP WEST VIRGINIA CONNECTED

WHEN THE ROADS ARE WASHED OUT, THE PHONES ARE DEAD, AND THE POWER’S DOWN, PUBLIC BROADCASTING IS STILL THERE.

SENATOR CAPITO
DON’T LET CONGRESS CUT OFF WEST VIRGINIA.

#KEEPWVCONNECTED

VOTE NO
ON THE RESCISSION BILL THAT SLASHES
OVER $1 BILLION FROM PUBLIC BROADCASTING.

In our state, public media is a lifeline-especially in places where mountains block cell signals and broadband is out of reach. FROM FLOOD ALERTS IN LOGAN COUNTY TO PBS KIDS IN HOMES WITHOUT INTERNET, WVPB IS OFTEN THE ONLY SIGNAL THAT GETS THROUGH. Cutting CPB means cutting off families, emergency alerts, and local voices that matter.

“”I…. have worked to ensure the reliability and availability of emergency communication services.”

– Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, Champion of Public Broadcasting Award, 2024

KEEP WEST VIRGINIA CONNECTED
VOTE NO ON THE RESCISSION BILL

These funds directly support WVPB, which keeps rural families connected when the phone lines fail and the internet goes down. No tech company or cable provider can replace this service.

DID YOU KNOW?

WVPB REACHES EVERY WEST VIRGINIA COUNTY, SERVING OVER 1.2 MILLION RESIDENTS

IN MANY RURAL TOWNS, WVPB IS THE ONLY SOURCE FOR LIVE EMERGENCY ALERTS

PUBLIC MEDIA DELIVERS A $7 RETURN FOR EVERY $1 IN FEDERAL SUPPORT

LOSING CPB FUNDING WOULD MEAN FEWER RESOURCES FOR DISASTER RESPONSE, KIDS’ PROGRAMMING, AND LOCAL NEWSROOMS
