'PBS News Weekend' aired its final episode on Sunday, following federal spending cuts to public media enacted last summer. The program's anchor, John Yang, confirmed the cancellation during the broadcast, expressing gratitude to viewers and praising his team for their dedication in covering major weekend news events. The decision to end the show was attributed to the loss of federal funding, a result of budget reductions led by President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting also announced its dissolution after nearly six decades, citing the same financial constraints. Yang will leave PBS News at the end of the month, while some team members will remain for other projects.
