[Swprograms] Protest cutting funding for public broadcasting

** U S A. KOSU - Future of Public Broadcasting 

Dear Listener, We are writing you today about the future of public 
broadcasting. We?ve often said that your contributions are the most 
reliable and substantial support for our service. This point may 
become even sharper as a congressional subcommittee has recently voted 
to take back federal funding previously approved for the support of 
local public radio and television stations, as well as funding for 
educational children?s programs for public TV. If approved by the U.S. 
Senate, we estimate that KOSU will lose as much as $68,000 beginning 
in just four months. This would be the equivalent of losing 3 out of 
every 5 pledges during our fall fund drive. All told, public 
broadcasting could lose 45 percent of its funding beginning in 
October, with the most significant impact felt by small and rural 
stations and their listeners and viewers.

Whatever your feelings about an ongoing investment by the American 
people in public broadcasting, we hope you will share your opinion 
with your elected representatives. To contact your representative, go
