(this quoted from New York Times).
It seems that the projected revenue from grants and other contributions was reduced by $4 million for the year, to an expected $15 million, as foundations and wealthy individuals faced lower investment earnings, said Dana Davis Rehm, NPR’s senior vice president for strategy and partnerships.
The NPR has an estimated 2 million listeners that tune into their daily programming. Hopefully they are just downsizing and not getting rid of the station.
