Revisiting the origins and mission of U.S. public broadcasting
WASHINGTON – Sometimes to know where you are going it is useful to know where you have been. As we examine the future of public service media in the US, a good starting point is the original intended mission of public broadcasting, which was formalized in the 1967 report of the Carnegie Commission on Educational Television. This report led to the start of public television as we now know it. Radio came later and was added by Congress.

WASHINGTON — KCET, the Los Angeles public television station that cancelled PBS programming last winter, is being watched closely by public broadcasting executives here as it charts a new course – as an independent public TV station that is also a regional production center. KCET achieved surprising success with its spring post-PBS schedule of international news from the BBC and NHK, re-runs of cooking shows and a limited number of locally-produced programs: After initially losing half of its audience last winter, by May it was attracting more viewers than PBS station KOCE, which was running "Nova," "Masterpiece," and the rest……Continue Reading Without PBS, public TV’s KCET becomes independent production center

Public TV funding cuts fall unevenly across the U.S.; Fundraising criticized

So if one of those five states were to cut funding significantly, or zero it out entirely, it would have a……Continue Reading Public TV funding cuts fall unevenly across the U.S.; Fundraising criticized
