It's also worth pointing out that that's *really*
not very much per capita, compared with (for example)
what the BBC rakes in.

[Off the top of my head, the Beeb gets about £1.3bn
a year.  But don't quote me because that number really
did come from memory and might be quite old.]

Imho PBS does a pretty impressive job, considering
what it's up against.
