WTEB Faces possible shutdown amid federal and state cuts
WTEB FM in New Bern could go off the air if Congress rescinds 1995 public broadcasting funds and Raleigh moves to end state support. The station, with a $575000 annual budget, would lose $60000 in federal funds and $144000 in state funds, despite growing local donations. Station manager Kathy Beal warns that losing both funding streams endangers survival.
