  Public broadcasting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is a system in which radio, television, and potentially other electronic media outlets receive some or all of their funding from the public.
This can be in the form of community radio, campus radio, and public access television, although the latter is not a form of over-the-air broadcasting, as it is only available on cable television systems.
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).
