Executives from public broadcasters PBS and NPR will testify before the House Delivering on Government Efficiency subcommittee Wednesday morning.
The hearing comes as President Trump and his administration have turned up the heat on public media in recent months. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) launched an investigation earlier this year into the two outlets over their alleged "airing of commercials."
Federal law prohibits public broadcasters from selling commercial sponsorships, but the outlets are allowed to broadcast public underwriting spots paid for by private donors. Both media organizations have pushed back on the administration's claims.
The event is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. EDT.
