	Public broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Public broadcasting (also known as public service broadcasting or PSB) is the dominant form of broadcasting around the world, where radio, television, and potentially other electronic media outlets receive funding from the public.
		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 Broadcasting Service - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		PBS is not a broadcast network in the sense in which that term is usually used in the United States.
		The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 [1] required a "strict adherence to objectivity and balance in all programs or series of programs of a controversial nature." It also prohibited the federal government from interfering or controlling what is broadcast.
		Kenneth Tomlinson, chairman of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in November 2004 in Baltimore, told PBS officials, "They should make sure their programming better reflected the Republican mandate." Tomlinson later said that his comment was in jest and that he could not imagine how remarks at a fun occasion were taken the wrong way.

		Public broadcasting in fact provides excellent public affairs programming on which a lively and diverse range of views is expressed on many controversial issues.
		Public broadcasting was to provide a diversity of educational, cultural, and public affairs programming that commercial stations had failed to furnish.
		Broadcast frequencies are both scarce and uniquely powerful; /59/ there is therefore a special public interest in assuring that the airwaves are not monopolized by a narrow range of interests and views.

		The public television system that helped bring American viewers such classic shows as Sesame Street in the 1970s is home today to a stable of immensely popular and successful educational children's shows, including Kratts' Creatures and Wishbone, not to mention a diverse offering of community outreach programs.
		Chartered in 1969 to operate an "interconnection system" to improve program distribution among the approximately 75 independent public television stations in the U.S., PBS is a private, nonprofit corporation, owned and operated today by its 349-member noncommercial television stations serving the entire U.S., Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and American Samoa.
		The formation of this interconnected system was one of several recommendations of the 1967 Carnegie Commission on Educational Television, which acted as a blueprint for the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967.

	Public Broadcasting Service
		The Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a non-profit public broadcasting television service with nearly 350 member TV stations in the United States.
		Unlike the commercial television broadcast model, in which affiliates give up portions of their local advertising airtime in exchange for network programming, PBS member stations pay substantial fees for the shows acquired and distributed by the national organization.
		It is possible now that with the transition to terrestrial digital television broadcasts, both may be available as alternate channels on some local stations in the near future.

	MEDIA-JAMAICA: Gov't to Revive Public Broadcasting System
		”Public broadcasting caters to some sense of national identity and community, it is also detached from vested commercial or governmental interests, and it has to be funded through the broad body of users whether they are taxpayers or some other kind of public source,” Robinson said.
		The major factor that separated the Jamaica Broadcasting Corporation from true public broadcasting, however, was the element of political interference, said Robinson, a former director general of JBC.
		Six years later, the government has announced that some public broadcasting programming should air by the end of the year, sparking questions about content, sustainability and whether the new entity will be able to carve out a space in the expanded media landscape.

	Nicholas Johnson: Georgia Public Broadcasting
		On the other hand, public broadcasting may not be the most efficient and effective way of doing it either.
		Is one of the goals of public broadcasting to increase the number of potential outlets for Georgian citizens with the desire to express themselves in video, or to increase the range of diversity in the video materials available to the audience?
		And the problem with (d), of course, is that, to the extent public, or "non-commercial," broadcasting exists to provide an alternative to what commercial broadcasting offers, the more it depends on commercial advertisers the less rationale there is for public broadcasting at all.

	Public Service Broadcasting - Fritz Pleitgen
		Public television and radio broadcasting has proved its value time and again, and particularly in periods of crisis.
		A public broadcasting network must always be vigilant in its responsibility to the public it serves.

	National Review: PBS custodiet custodes - financing the public broadcasting system
		This baroque system means that the taxpayer foots the bill for an awful lot of programming over which he has no control whatever--not even the ability to boycott a sponsor.
		That is deliberate: The creators of public broadcasting assumed, probably correctly, that commercial broadcasters would be unwilling to carry educational and culturally elite programs that the Great Society deemed desirable.

		Now, the call to arms is against Wisconsin Public Television and Wisconsin Public Radio because of PBS’ shameful acquiescence to the Bush administration’s attempts to stock the network with conservative idealogues who are less apt to criticize it than Bill Moyers is.

		As some of you know, CPB [Corporation for Public Broadcasting] was established almost 40 years ago to set broad policy for public broadcasting and to be a firewall between political influence and program content.
		The chairman of the public station in Dallas was an industrialist named Ralph Rogers, a Republican but no party hack, who saw the White House intimidation as an assault on freedom of the press and led a nationwide effort to stop it.
