OK, here is a publicly-shareable dashboard of #PublicBroadcasting stations most at risk (thank you @Runkefer) . This list is sorted by “dependence”, defined as:

Federal revenue / Total station revenue.

In other words, a 90% dependence score means Federal money accounts for 90% of the station’s income.

Since Federal money is being cut by #Trump, the more dependent a station is on Federal money, the more devastated they will be.

I encourage you to pick some station that calls out to you (don’t all pick the number one station!) and find their website and make a recurring donation of $5 or $10 a month. Make sure it’s a RECURRING donation, so you give these stations a dependable lifeline.

Don’t forget, some employers will match your donations. Make your bosses support public broadcasting!
