Compared to other developed countries, the U.S. federal government offers little financial support to its animation industry. Last night, president Donald Trump signed an executive order<\/a> to cut one of the few remaining sources of federal government animation funding: PBS Kids. <\/p>\n

The broad order is directed at the taxpayer-backed Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a nonprofit entity created by Congress that doles out funding to public broadcasters in the United States. The broadcasters additionally rely on donors and sponsors, with the money from the CPB making up only a portion of their budgets. <\/p>\n

It is not clear whether the order can be implemented legally. \u201cCPB is not a federal executive agency subject to the President\u2019s authority,\u201d Patricia Harrison, the president and chief executive of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, said in a statement today. \u201cCongress directly authorized and funded CPB to be a private nonprofit corporation wholly independent of the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n
