Commerical operations into airports without an ATC tower

As a result of the budget sequester, the US FAA is planning on shutting down about 170 ATC towers in the US. A number of these towers serve airports with commercial traffic. My question is this, will a major commercial airline continue to fly into an airport that lacks ATC supervision? Does this depend on whether conditions are VFR or IFR? I may not be phrasing my question correctly, if so, I apologize.
