Agreed! End of debate.
With federal funding of public broadcasting coming to an end, stations in the CPB and NPR groups will be looking for alternate funding. Anyone complaining that the move to cut funding is unfair, should pony up a percentage of their yearly wages and direct deposit that each month to the Corporation For Public Broadcasting or directly to their local tv and NPR radio stations.
Here’s an idea, the FCC should relax or dispense with rules preventing public tv and radio from soliciting sponsorships. Let Disney, Apple and Williams Sonoma put their money in that collection plate.

Jason Remington says:
Public television station KBTC Tacoma and Seattle NPR outlet KUOW are among the many hit by the shutting of tax-payer funding. Both are stepping up their plea to viewers/listeners for subscriptions.
Viewer donations will be the avenue these stations stress going forward, in addition to corporate underwriters/donors.
This is where the rubber meets the road. Time for listeners to show their support in real dollars.
