3-19-12 State funding for radio

I do think that the state should fund public broadcasting because it allows people with no access to a television or the internet to receive news that they would have not gotten. Public radio has programs that are both entertaining and compelling to listen which would be nearly impossible to broadcast on a television. My belief is that public radio is not a burden that is like corporate welfare, but an active part of peoples lives that benefits through providing news and broadcasting entertaining programs.
