北达科他州参议院投票否决取消Prairie公共广播基金的法案,但供资情况仍不确定。 North Dakota Senate votes down bill to defund Prairie Public Broadcasting, but funding remains uncertain.

北达科他州参议院以41至6票否决了一项旨在取消国家公共广播公司Prairie公共广播经费的法案。 The North Dakota Senate rejected a bill aimed at defunding Prairie Public Broadcasting, a state public broadcaster, with a 41-6 vote. 尽管该法案被否决,但Prairie Public仍然缺乏国家预算中的专用资金,尽管总督Kelly Armstrong的提议包括为该组织拨款近290万美元。 Despite the bill's defeat, Prairie Public still lacks earmarked funding in the state budget, though Governor Kelly Armstrong's proposal includes nearly $2.9 million for the organization. 该法案的支持者认为,由于其他媒体的缘故,公共广播已经在政治上有偏见,过时了,但反对者说,这将威胁当地节目制作和教育资源。 Supporters of the bill argued that public broadcasting had become politically biased and obsolete due to other media, but opponents said it would threaten local programming and educational resources.
