Gov. DeSantis cuts recurring state funding for Florida public media

In an 11th-hour and unexpected move, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis cut close to $6 million in recurring funding to the state’s public radio and public television stations Monday, the day before the 2025 budget took hold.

The cuts are a part of some $600 million in appropriations that the governor vetoed before signing the $115 billion budget Monday.

The $6 million in cuts to recurring funding equates to $100,000 for each of the state’s public radio stations and more than $370,000 to each of the public television stations.
