>>Here are some points you should know about H.R. 1076:

· 9,000 jobs are in danger if the bill passes

· Its passage would destroy local stations’ ability to raise local revenue and produce local programs like the news

· The legislation bans stations from using federal funds to get listeners’ favorite NPR programs, such as Morning Edition, Market Place, Beale Street Carvan, World Cafe, All Things Considered and many more.

· Most stations rely on federal funding to access almost a third of their programming

· Without these beloved programs, stations would lose their listener base, and thus their ability to fund raise through memberships and underwriting

· Restricting public radio stations from using federal funds to acquire programming marks an incredible upset to their economic models
