	Free Press : Put the Public Back in Public Broadcasting
		Public broadcasting is perpetually under attack in Washington by those who would cripple public-spirited alternatives to the commercial media and muzzle the critical voices and diverse fare that PBS, NPR and other public media offer.
		The operating model of public broadcasting must be recast to fulfill its founding mission to serve as "a forum for debate and controversy" and "a voice for groups that may otherwise be unheard."
		While media technology has advanced in the 35 years since public broadcasting was created, one thing remains constant: the need for noncommercial, not-for-profit media, available free to the public with a mission to inform, educate, inspire and engage.

	Public broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While commercial broadcasters often use the word as if it were a category one could observe directly, public broadcasters are forced by their very mandate to justify their use of the word — the BBC at one point claimed it would label no one a "terrorist" as they considered it a political term.
		Public broadcasting sometimes serves simply to put voices or languages on the air that may otherwise be completely ignored, and sometimes due to a lack of voice, obliterated.
		Public music stations are probably best known for playing classical music, although other formats have been used, including the emerging "eclectic" music format that is rather freeform in nature (common among college radio stations, though a well-known eclectic NPR member station is KCRW in California).

	Broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and/or video signals (programs) to a number of recipients ("listeners" or "viewers") that belong to a large group.
		For example, National Public Radio, a non-commercial network within the United States, receives grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (which in turn receives funding from the U.S. government), by public membership, and by selling "extended credits" to corporations.
		American radio network broadcasters habitually forbade prerecorded broadcasts in the 1930s and 1940s, requiring radio programs played for the Eastern and Central time zones to be repeated three hours later for the Pacific time zone.

		On July 14, 2005, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved funding for public broadcasting that is $111 million greater than that provide by the House of Representatives.

		The CPB is distinct from both NPR and PBS: It is not a broadcaster, but a private corporation created by Congress in 1967 with two primary functions: to serve as a firewall between partisan politics and public broadcasting, and to help fund programming, stations and technology.

		Created by Congress in 1967, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is considered the largest single source of funding for public television and radio programming.
		In May many public broadcasting supporters cried foul when Tomlinson acknowledged that he hired a consultant to track the content of "NOW," a PBS program that he believed had a liberal bias.
		But Tomlinson, a former director of Voice of America during the Reagan administration, said the issue of political bias in public broadcasting needed to be addressed because it jeopardized private financial support that underwrites much of the cost.

	Corporation for Public Broadcasting Invests Nearly $2 Million to Usher in Public Service Radio for New Media Age
		CPB will invest $1 million to support NPR's efforts to reach new audiences through program streams delivered via Sirius Radio, which plans to launch its nationwide, direct-to-car service in late 2000.
		CPB's diversity ambitions focus on racial and ethnic minorities (both at the project management and the consumer levels), new audiences, and independent producers.
		CPB, a private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress in 1967, is a leader in public broadcasting's transition to digital and new media educational and programming services for the American people.

	Time to Let the Corporation for Public Broadcasting Stand on Its Own
		This stunning potential increase in the CPB's budget would amount to an unwarranted waste of tax dollars because the organization's mission is both obsolete and redundant.
		The funds that H.R. 2384 would provide the CPB to assist in its transition to digital television illustrate that the broadcasting agency has strayed far from its original mission.
		Although the CPB originally was viewed as a method of providing high-quality programming to lower-income Americans, most low-income families would not be able to spend thousands of dollars to purchase digitally ready, high-definition television sets to receive the new digital transmissions CPB hopes to offer.

	CPB Exerting Political Pressure on Public Television
		As a private, non-profit institution, the CPB is tasked by Congress to distribute funds to public broadcasters with a view toward balance.
		Although it was intended to shield public broadcasting from political influence, the CPB has long since become a mechanism for transmitting Congress' ideological desires to public broadcasters.
		If Tomlinson and his CPB colleagues are doling out public broadcasting funds based on the premise that PBS's left-wing slant must be corrected, then they should first be required to show the public that such a bias exists.

	Tell Them Public Matters - How Public Broadcasting is Funded
		Public Broadcasting is funded through a nonprofit corporation called the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB).
		The CPB was formed by virtue of the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967, where it was understood that a portion of the funding would come from the federal government, but in order to maintain public broadcasting's independent and public service status, the majority of the funding would come from subscribers, private, state and local funding.
		Membership is the largest single source of funding for public broadcasting stations, so when you hear membership drives blanket the airwaves you can understand just how critical your contributions are to our success.

	PBS - Thematic Window: The Corporation of Public Broadcasting
		Congress experimented in funding programming for the new public stations in 1962 with the Education Television Facilities Act, but the early support for public stations was unorganized.
		The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), a private, non-profit corporation managed by a nine-member board appointed by the President and approved by the Senate to funnel government support to public stations and producers nationwide.

	Public Broadcasting Targeted By House
		The CPB funds are particularly important for small TV and radio stations and account for about 15 percent of the public broadcasting industry's total revenue.
		Expressing alarm, public broadcasters and their supporters in Congress interpreted the move as an escalation of a Republican-led campaign against a perceived liberal bias in their programming.
		Broadcasters noted, for example, that the 25 percent cutback in next year's CPB budget was a rollback of money that Congress had promised in 2004.

		While the nation debates the future of Corporation for Public Broadcasting, I have one question: Is it becoming increasingly obvious to anyone else that there are moral and practical flaws in a publicly financed media?
		In defiance to any attempt at separating the CPB from the politicians, the President of the United States, with congress' approval, appoints all eight board members (who have six year terms).
		The recent controversies surrounding public broadcasting are nothing new, but they do illustrate an important point: The public financing of media stations is morally and practically inexcusable.

	Media Matters - An open letter to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting board of directors (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		I was troubled to read in The Washington Post that former Republican National Committee co-chairwoman Patricia de Stacy Harrison is the "leading candidate" to be the next president of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a position to which the CPB board of directors would appoint her.
		More troubling, by appointing a Republican activist to manage an organization designed to protect public broadcasting from political pressure, the board would be signaling to those who have treasured public broadcasting as a bastion of fairness and balance that it is now vulnerable to political manipulation.
		If CPB is committed to continuing to provide a nonpartisan alternative to such outlets, turning over the reins to a former co-chairwoman of the Republican Party is on odd way to accomplish that goal.
