That's a bit misleading and implies it's solely funded by state and federal
funding from taxes (which it's not) ...
For PBS's total revenue in FY2000, member contributions totaled 23.5%, state
government contributions 18.3%, federal grants & contracts 16.4%, business
contributions 16.1%, state college & university contributions 6.5% and
contributions from foundations 5.5%, totalling US$1.6bn in revenue for PBS.
