Experts warn that up to 80 local public radio stations could shut down, particularly in rural areas. The hosts argue that NPR's claim that federal money is only 1% of their budget contradicts the "dire" warnings currently being issued by public media advocates.

Public broadcasters have vowed to challenge the order in court, claiming it threatens emergency alert systems and creates "news deserts."
