They also serve a universal access imperative, which is that they serve 99.7% of the American population is covered by public radio signal, which has an extraordinarily important role to play in emergency broadcasting, in extreme weather alerts, and So from a national security perspective, that is tremendously important. NPR receives a tiny, tiny percentage of federal funding.

Many other stations would be forced to either reduce their coverage area, meaning that universal access promise and that emergency resilience promise would dissipate because you wouldn't have that 99.7% coverage. You would see layoffs of journalists in local communities as well. And what ultimately that means is that...
