That 1% number is a bit misleading. Federal funding isn't paid to NPR directly and instead goes to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The CPB gives money to non-profit radio/tv stations and those stations pay NPR, PRI, APM, etc for content. Without the CPB, tons of radio stations, mostly rural, couldn't afford to exist and wouldn't be paying NPR anything.
