Radio stations like WMOT pay to play songs, it's called music licensing and without it, WMOT will go silent.

The White House sent a proposed rescission package to Congress. This $9.4 billion package includes a $1.1 billion cut in funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), clawing back money previously appropriated by Congress. Now Congress has 45 days to consider the proposal, and it only requires a majority vote to pass—a vote which could come quickly. This is a grave threat to federal funding for public media.
