How small does their audience have to be to not be able to exist without government funding?
There are some VERY obscure niche channels on cable.

They committed suicide by failing to remain neutral

The entire network, all the stations, need to go back to true local control There needs to be public broadcasting county and city government easily available on the channel while it's going on there needs to be true public interest shows dedicated the hearing from citizens actual people. Not professors nor station managers, nor board members

I'm OK with this, just passed as setting the parameter of the sell off of all the broadcast rights. Get back to public interest and transparency in Government. If people were to pay as much attention on local issues as they do to the ones on the national news, we could actually fix things at the local level

Sec. 396. [47 U.S.C. 396] Corporation for Public Broadcasting
(a) Congressional declaration of policy—The Congress hereby finds and declares that—
(1) it is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of public radio and television broadcasting, including the use of such media for instructional, educational, and cultural purposes;
(2) it is in the public interest to encourage the growth and development of non-broadcast telecommunications technologies for the delivery of public telecommunications services;
(3) expansion and development of public telecommunications and of diversity of its programming depend on freedom, imagination, and initiative on both local and national levels;
(4) the encouragement and support of public telecommunications, while matters of importance for private and local development, are also of appropriate and important concern to the Federal Government;
(5) it furthers the general welfare to encourage public telecommunications services which will be responsive to the interests of people both in particular localities and throughout the United States, which will constitute an expression of diversity and excellence, and which will constitute a source of alternative telecommunications services for all the citizens of the Nation;
(6) it is in the public interest to encourage the development of programming that involves creative risks and that addresses the needs of unserved and underserved audiences, particularly children and minorities;
(7) it is necessary and appropriate for the Federal Government to complement, assist, and support a national policy that will most effectively make public telecommunications services available to all citizens of the United States;
(8) public television and radio stations and public telecommunications services constitute valuable local community resources for utilizing electronic media to address national concerns and solve local problems through community programs and outreach programs;
(9) it is in the public interest for the Federal Government to ensure that all citizens of the United States have access to public telecommunications services through all appropriate available telecommunications distribution technologies; and
(10) a private corporation should be created to facilitate the development of public telecommunications and to afford maximum protection from extraneous interference and control.
And acknowledge they failed at that last one

The leftist on this board said that what they received in funding was minute and that they could make it on their own.

So, all these years of them telling us that federal was only a tiny fraction of their budget, was a lie.
anyway. It it cool to live to see the fall of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Libya, the Soviet Union, Chavez/Maduro Venezuela, and NPR.
