"NPR and PBS would survive —

"The exact impacts are uncertain, given the complex structure of public media and the various other revenue streams that exist.
But some local stations are already making changes. 
In New York, the operator of the powerhouse NPR station WNYC said Wednesday that its CEO LaFontaine Oliver is moving into a new position, executive chair, that's been created in response to the threats to federal funding.  Oliver will focus on 'new funding models' and try to find financial support from other non-federal sources, the station said."
