RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Rachel Martin. It was a big night for the Los Angeles Rams. They are now Super Bowl champions. It was an even bigger night, though, for their wide receiver, Van Jefferson. The confetti was raining down on his team, champagne was being popped, but he had somewhere else to be. Jefferson made a quick exit and headed straight to the hospital, where his wife was delivering their second child. His Instagram story this morning shows him with a big smile cuddling his new baby boy. Maybe the baby can play with Dad's new ring. 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.
