Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt is defending his decision to cut funding for the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority (OETA), pointing to the “problematic” sexual content broadcasted that targeted children.

Last week, Stitt, a Republican, vetoed a bill that sought to extend funding for OETA—the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member station for Oklahoma—through 2026.
