The broadcaster also addressed problems with open meetings and grant reporting highlighted in a CPB audit.
The board also heard that PBS’ old non–real-time satellite transponder will be turned off Jan. 2.
CPB would get only $15.5 million next year and $15 million in 2020 to shut itself down.
Both the House and Senate Appropriation panels defied the president on CPB funding.
The committee recommends $25.7 million for the public TV early literacy project.
The bill does not include funding for public broadcasting’s interconnection project or public TV’s Ready To Learn.
The CPB funds, which are approved two years before being paid out, not only stay at the current level but would include annual increases of roughly 2.2 percent through 2025.
