If there is programming people want to watch then someone will sponsor it or it will end up on a pay to watch medium like the internet or cable

That’s called “market capitalism”

Works really well

According to The Washington Post: "...Public television and radio stations like PBS and NPR got just $445 million from the government in 2012—or about 0.014 percent of the federal budget..."

In the article, liberals said aiming at things like PBS is simply politicking, because the money is so "small".

Gee. I can think of some areas where $445 million would really do some good. Like VETERANS BENEFITS.

Kind of makes you think of the old saying, updated to today's economics: "A billion here, a billion there, and soon you are talking about real money."

Amen! Hopefully Trump will do away with this bs of us having to pay for tv channels that we don’t want to watch.

Give us a cafeteria approach to our tv choices.

We are boycotting NFL and the slew of NFL regurgitation channels/programs.

We don’t speak Spanish, Chicom or some SE Asia language, why do we have to pay for those channels.

Regardless, we will be cutting the Comcast TV Cord next month and using Sling/Roku and streaming tv products on the internet on our smart tv. Sling enables us to watch local TV stations as part of their package or for $5/month for CBS and ABC.
