Far be it from me to support CPB, but the first two paragraphs look like this is in fact an actual cut in funding.

It claims that the FY 2004 budget is $380 million, and the already approved 2005 budget is $390 million. Now, in addition to not adding the $80 million CPB wanted for digital, they set the 2006 budget at $330 million. That's a real cut from the previous years level, not just a reduction in the amount of increase.

Cool.

Yeah but this *maybe* cut of 26% won't happen IMHO. Normally staunch Republicans like Zack Wamp and George Nethercutt who sit on the appropriations committee, ALSO sit on the Friends of "Public Broadcasting" collective. Go figure...

Wamp is a founding member of the Public Broadcasting Caucus Group! (see my home page for a full list...)

Well, that is good news. I am happy to be corrected.

You are correct. So much for my skimming....
