The Corporation for Public Broadcasting settled with NPR on Monday, agreeing to restore a nearly $36 million contract for satellite infrastructure funding with the public radio network.

Under the agreement, CPB will disburse congressionally appropriated funds to NPR to continue operating the Public Radio Satellite System over the next five years. In return, NPR dropped its claims against CPB filed in federal court as part of a broader lawsuit against the Trump administration for an executive order targeting NPR. Additionally, NPR said it would waive fees it levies from public radio stations for accessing its satellite services for the next two years.
