Well, I support public broadcasting and will research this issue some more, but I just wanted to point out that the site you linked to has not one single iota of information on the home page as to what the problem is. It says "Take Action Take Action" but doesn't define why or how public broadcasting is in danger.
If that's all you saw, then your browser is having a nervous breakdown. The website has always explained why and how public broadcasting is in danger- because of the threat of congress cutting off their funding. Government funding is a significant portion of their budget. And it's not hard to see how trying to make up the difference if this was eliminated could be threatening to their continued operation, particularly in a severe recession.
