	Public broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Public broadcasters receive all or a substantial part of their funding from government sources, either from the general tax revenues or from licence fees.
		Since public broadcasters do not rely on advertising as a source of revenue to the same degree as commerccial broadcasters, this allows public broadcasters to air programs that are less saleable to the mass market, such as public affairs shows, documentaries, and educational programs.
		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).

	Public Service Broadcasting
		Public service broadcasting is based on the principles of universality of service, diversity of programming, provision for minority audiences including the disadvantaged, sustaining an informed electorate, and cultural and educational enrichment.
		The roots of public service broadcasting are generally traced to documents prepared in support of the establishment of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) by Royal Charter on 1 January 1927.
		Language contained within this act explicitly mandated broadcasting stations to operate "in the public interest, convenience or necessity," but the public service ideals of raising the educational and cultural standards of the citizenry were marginalized in favor of capitalistic incentives.

	Citizenship, Culture and Public Service Broadcasting
		We recognise the value of international broadcasting services in reaching different diasporic communities but, again, believe that this is not a substitute for material that addresses local priorities and issues within the boundaries of the nation-state.
		Public intervention must ensure that such cultural and political pluralism is sustained within the medium of television.
		The maintenance and enhancement of a public space in broadcasting is a societal aim that does not change because of digitalisation and we believe that broadcasting is central to the democratic, social and cultural life of a nation.

		Digital broadcasting therefore presents public service operators with a difficult choice: if they embrace it and invest substantial sums, they may appear to be responding in dynamic fashion on both the technological and commercial fronts; if they hold back, they can be accused of Luddism and complacency.
		The public figured significantly in the Corporation's submissions and arguments, but it remained largely a spectator, although a range of submissions was made to the government by bodies such as consumer councils, trade unions, and church groups.
		Public service broadcasting in the U.K. has been undergoing a process of restructuring during the last 10 years; the country as a whole has now embarked on a similar exercise.

		The basis of public service broadcasting is generally accepted to be an obligation to provide "information, education, and entertainment".
		The service must be available to everyone and must be free at the point of delivery (that is, apart from investing in a receiving set and, in the case of television, paying a licence fee, the viewer or listener does not need special equipment and does not pay for the service).
		The concept of public service broadcasting, however, relates not just to individual programmes; it concerns the way they are arranged in a schedule.

		First, we believe that a competitive broadcasting marketplace is a good starting point in the quest to ensure that citizens and consumers are able to benefit from a wide range of high quality programming and other content.
		Although commercial broadcasters will provide some of this content, intervention is needed to ensure that there is sufficient range, volume and quality of programming made in the UK and for UK audiences.
		Broadcasters and producers can then be set the challenge of identifying the best way of delivering public value.

		The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a private, non-profit public broadcasting television network owned by over 300 public television stations in the United States.
		It is funded by a combination of corporate sponsors, private donations from individuals and non-profit corporations such as the Annenberg Foundation, and Federal money through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
		Although PBS and its affiliated television stations receive substantial amounts of money, perhaps most of their money, from U.S. taxpayers via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the stations also solicit donations by methods some find annoying including pledge weeks or telethons.

	mass media: public service broadcasting
		A broadly similar definition of public service aims is provided by Thomas (1999) in her statement of government's core cultural and economic objectives for broadcasting:
		What is particularly worthy of note in that statement is, of course, the last objective, which did not traditionally figure in previous statements of the rôle of the public service broadcaster, but which, especially since Thatcher resolved to submit the BBC to the rigours of the marketplace, has come to be of ever increasing importance.
		The 1996 Broadcasting Act set a framework for the provision of some thirty-odd channels, a development which in itself must raise questions about government's regulatory rôle, since it voids the argument that a scarce resource (the airwave spectrum) needs to be centrally managed.

		New measures are needed to protect public service broadcasting from censorship by state and community-level politicians and to ensure that boards are truly diverse, have a clear sense of mission and recruit and reward station managers for measurable public service, rather than profit-making ventures.
		Despite congressional sponsors, past proposals to establish a public broadcasting trust have been defeated by a combination of forces: a powerful National Association of Broadcasters, timid politicians not willing to confront commercial broadcasters or risk independent voices in the public arena, a divided public broadcasting community, and the narrow base of reform movements.
		At the same time, CIPB local chapters are working to democratize the governance and programming of their community's public broadcasting station (s).

		Unfortunately, we are not likely to get that from our public broadcasting service, which, three decades after its founding in 1967, is seriously compromised.

		Public broadcasting is arguably the single most important social, cultural, and journalistic institution of the 20th century.
		Still, the distinguishing characteristics of the West European model was its domination by a strong public broadcaster.
		Much as Tracey symphatizes with the idea that broadcasting involves a moral, intellectual, and educational mission apart from any technological or financial considerations, he is skeptical about the future of the idea.
