In the next few days, the U.S. Senate will consider a package that would devastate many public radio stations by clawing back two years of previously approved funding. At KOSU, it would significantly impact our ability to provide emergency alerts and Oklahoma news.

Sen. James Lankford: 202-224-5754

Sen. Markwayne Mullin: 202-224-4721
