"CIPB PROPOSAL FOR A PUBLIC BROADCASTING TRUST The time has come to restructure the public broadcasting service as an independently funded public trust, comparable to the Red Cross, U.S. International Olympic Committee or Little League Baseball. This would take it off the federal dole, remove corporate advertising, stop the desperate search for money, and free public broadcasting to pursue its mission with editorial integrity.

To support innovative, diverse, noncommercial programming for both national and local audiences, an independent public broadcasting service would require at least $1 billion in insulated annual program funds, in addition to current levels of operational support from state governments, individual subscribers, and foundations. Corporate donations would be briefly acknowledged and restricted to general system support.

Structure A new Public Broadcasting Trust (PBT) would replace the President's patronage appointed Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It also would take over the satellite distribution systems now administered by PBS and NPR. In contrast to the CPB, the PBT Board of Trustees would be insulated from direct political pressure."

"On January 20th 2000 the FCC voted in favor of creating a Low-Power FM radio service! It was to be non-commercial educational service with two tiers: 10 watts and 100 watts. Over 1200 groups have applied for licenses!

Some people don't want LPFM to happen, though, and moved to kill it, which led to Congress severely restricting LPFM by attaching a rider to an appropriations bill, which was signed by former President Clinton. Read the LPFM page for some basic information regarding Low Power radio and then contact your elected officials and voice your opinion."

o To stimulate nonprofit organizations (especially progressive, public-interest groups) to become active producers of next-generation broadband media content."
