I wish that were true. But 2% number is essentially disinformation. NPR gets a large portion of its budget from affiliate stations, which are funded by the government.

kinda true but also misleading without adding more facts. vermont public receives ~10% of revenue from the CPD ($2,044,000). they spent a total of $2,253,926 on "Program acquisitions" in 2024. it's not clear from their financial report how much of this goes to NPR license fees. so you are sharing as much disinformation as anybody. https://npr.brightspotcdn.com/5b/64/62bb42da4ec8b5f858176dc4...
