DAVID GREENE, HOST:

Good morning. I'm David Greene. There are Christmas displays, and then there's this: synchronized lights, lasers, fog machines, strobe lights, 20-foot flames. Oh, and the music of the Trans Siberian Orchestra. This whole display started seven years ago in Wall Township, New Jersey. You can't drive every night to see it. The house has one performance left - next Sunday. There's no charge. They only accept donations for a local charity. One spectator this weekend called it a sensory explosion. It's MORNING EDITION.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
