Same for PBS and its member stations.

The only truly worrying part of the EO for me is the "The heads of all agencies shall identify and terminate, to the maximum extent consistent with applicable law, any direct or indirect funding of NPR and PBS."

Some of the most interesting work we've done has been almost completely funded by the Department of Education.

The station I work for has many sources of revenue but I suspect this will harm some smaller stations.

The largest item on their revenue chart seems to be "corporate sponsorships." You know, the companies in all those totally-not-commercials you hear on your local non-commercial stations.

Earlier today, I mentioned what you commented in another forum, and wise person pointed out to me that that it's the rural stations that will be affected most by this.

When you consider the rural media options, this will be a huge shift in those markets if the funding is not replaced.

This is simply not true, at all, and NPR themselves deliberately try to obfuscate the truth.

"NPR's two largest revenue sources are corporate sponsorships and fees paid by NPR Member organizations"

NPR member organizations are government funded, and then that government funding rolls back up to NPR. So, they're mostly funded by ads and the government. Source in other comment.
