Reba McEntire posted a video in support of PBS in a plea to fans to do the same.

Donald Trump’s administration is looking to cut back on more than $1 billion to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which provides some funding to PBS and NPR.

McEntire, the country music legend, made a plea for PBS.

“Hey, it’s Reba,” she said as the video began. “From my appearances on ‘Austin City Limits’ in 1987, to South Pacific in concert from Carnegie Hall in 2006, I’ve had a long relationship with PBS. Now, PBS needs our help. In just a few short days the Senate is going to vote on a Bill that would remove federal funding from PBS.

“PBS has done so much for us. From children’s education to teaching us about science, the earth and the stars. To the most near to my heart, the incredible arts programming that brings the power of live performance into our homes.

“If you believe in PBS like I do, check out ProtectMyPublicMedia.org to find out how you can help. Let’s help keep PBS keep delivering the incredible programming that we all love so much.”

The Recissions Act would eliminate $1.1 billion in already-approve funding for public media.

Trump said in a social media post Thursday that the proposed cuts — in particular the $1.1 billion to come from public media — are “very important” to him.

“It is very important that all Republicans adhere to my Recissions Bill and, in particular, DEFUND THE CORPORATION FOR PUBLIC BROADCASTING (PBS and NPR), which is worse than CNN & MSDNC put together,” Trump wrote in the social media post. “Any Republican that votes to allow this monstrosity to continue broadcasting will not have my support or Endorsement.”
