How will our local public broadcasting stations deal with public funding cutbacks?

Welcome back to Mikes on Mic, where we dive into the conversations shaping our community, government, and the future of Jacksonville. Today, we’re joined by David McGowan, CEO of WJCT Public Media — the voice and vision behind our city’s public radio and television outlets. Under his leadership, WJCT continues to inform, educate, and inspire Northeast Florida through trusted journalism, cultural programming, and innovative storytelling.

In this episode, we dig into one of the most pressing challenges facing public media: the elimination of federal and state funding for public broadcasting. David shares what this shift could mean for WJCT’s programming, community services, and long-term sustainability, as well as the broader impact on listeners and viewers who rely on public media every day. It’s a timely conversation about the value of public broadcasting — and what’s at stake for our community if these resources disappear.
