NP, no it can’t. PBS stations don’t run advertising and what they air has education value and not commercial value. Many stations can survive via fund raising but in remote areas the money isn’t there. [/quote]

The CEO of pbs lives in a mansion outside Roundhill.

Long overdue to let them stand on their own

There are a lot of rural communities like rural Kansas where public broadcasting is the only way they have to get local news, weather, high school sports, agricultural updates and so on.  Smoky Hills PBS serves 1.2 Kansans over 71 counties.  They are going to be gutted, losing half of their budget.

Seems Trump gives even less of a shit about rural "flyover country" than the democrats do.[/quote]

This is why democrats are losing people left and right.  You genuinely believe that people who do not run in your social circle are uninformed and unintelligent.  Keep looking down your elite noses at "flyover" country; it has served you sooooooo well thus far.

You do realize that rural areas do have internet, right? Everyone has a cellphone - everyone.  Computers too!

The government does not need to subsidize buggy whips, oops, I mean radio, at $1 billion a year.  [/quote]

They exist for a reason, do you know there are still places without cell phone service, and people still use dial-up for internet connection? I bet they vote for GOP.[/quote]

They also provide niche programs and services.  These maga clowns don’t want anything that isn’t fed to them through a corporation.  Then Trump said low information, he meant it.[/quote]
