0:57Now PlayingThe Corporation for Public Broadcasting says the Department of Education terminated a federal grant program that funds educational shows and online games for children. According to reporting by the New York Times, the move means $23 million in funding to support children’s programming will be lost.
Ready to Learn has funded shows like “Molly of Denali,” “Work It Out Wombats!” and “Lyla in the Loop.” In a statement, CPB said Ready To Learn-supported content was streamed 1.8 billion video times and reached 10.2 million television viewers in the last fiscal year.
