STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep. We're waiting for April Goss to get a chance on the football field. She's the kicker for Kent State. I did say she. She is believed to be the only woman on the roster of a Division One college football team. She once kicked an extra point in a spring game, and the coach says she'll play sometime this regular season. Of course, you need to send in a player at the perfect time, and last Saturday was not that time as Kent State lost to Illinois 52-3. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

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.
