While I agree no funds should be expended by the congress to support any media (that includes internet infrastructure and content), I DO enjoy some Public Programming. Especially PBS during fund raising. That's when they have the best music...Pink Floyd live etc.

Many of the PBS radio stations double as Classical Music stations as well...and that would be a terrible thing to lose. But, I don't think we would lose Classical Programming if NPR was defunded...that is their money-maker. That's what encourages the BIG donations.

I'm not opposed to Public Broadcasting...I'm opposed to Publicly Funded Broadcasting.

The greatest fear of the libs is that All Things Considered won't be able to attract sufficient resources to survive...while "public radio" will do just fine.

There are private radio stations that play classical music. If you’re ever in SoCal try KUSC.
