I may send them a box of lollipops myself.
We were told that federal funding was only a small part of their operations, yet the doors get immediately shuttered once the federal money dries up. We were told that private donations from loyal listeners were pouring in to continue operations, obviously not true. George Soros has bought up a large number of local radio stations, but couldn’t give a nickel to CPB. None of the large foundation donors that funded many PBS projects in the past didn’t step up with new financing. It would seem that the CPB in the end doesn’t have many friends nor was it clearly willing to actively pursue new funds or even sell advertising. I think, in the end, the higher ups at CPB will likely get golden parachutes ,the peons working for them and local PBS affiliates will get kicked to the curb and few people will actually care CPB is gone.
Most NPR stations are on the FM dial, which is not going to carry very far into rural areas. A few AM stations broadcast NPR content, but not many. You would be foolish to rely on NPR for emergency alerts in this day and age.
PBS and NPR became obsolete dinosaurs now that everyone has a cell phone place in their fist from cradle to grave. The first thing infants normally got after they were born was a bottle of formula. Now they get a cell phone.
Well good; have at it.
I WAS RAISED RURAL-—up to leaving the farm at 18.
THEN I MOVED to rural again at age 53. Lived rural since.
NEVER EVER LISTENED TO NPR. NEVER -—NOT THEN & NOT NOW & NOT IN BETWEEN
THERE ARE EMERGENCY RADIOS IN RURAL AREAS FOR WARNINGS...NEVER “TURNED OFF”.
THIS IS FALSE FLAG OPERATION
BUT NOTHING BROADCAST UNTIL THERE IS A PROBLEM
That's how most normal people would get information.
Hardly anyone would tune to NPR.
And for some reason, liberals want to get rid of AM radio in new cars.
"Some reason" ... the reason is because AM radio is where conservative talk radio resides.
“God, please protect this man, and this country.”
Amen and Amen.
I never thought I would live to see such a recovery from the hand of darkness.
The battle rages and the lines are being drawn.
Little gray is left, it’s good vs evil, all hands on deck
set the sails, man the cannons
once more into the breach, let loose the dogs of war.
.... but mostly ... everybody out of the wagon ..lets push.
