Nearly 90% of national advertisers and media agencies now use geotargeting. Many thanks for this vital information to Radio Online...

Is this the end of PBS and NPR?

PBS CEO Paula Kerger blasted the Senate's decision to revoke $1.1 billion in public media funding -- a move that President Trump has been pushing for in recent months -- saying it would be "especially devastating" to smaller stations serving rural areas.

"The Senate just approved a recessions package that goes against the will of the American people, the vast majority of whom trust PBS and believe we provide excellent value to their communities," Kerger was quoted as saying in a statement on Thursday morning.
