I just checked the local public radio website and got the following number

"Nearly 90% of Houston Public Radio's annual operating budget comes from
the local community"

60% comes from individual listeners, a lot comes from local companies.  I
don't think Houston has a budget for public radio.  If you think of the
national non-governmental support the radio station could get, Federal
money has to be less than 10%.  5% might be a decent guess.

So, even at a local level, federal government money is only a small
fraction of the income of public radio.
