** U S A. FAYETTEVILLE, AR 2005-06-24 Friday, June 24, 2005--

Eighty-seven Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including
Congressman John Boozman of Arkansas, joined 196 Democrats to put $100-million
back into the 2006 budget for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The
$100-million, representing 25% of CPB's budget, was cut by the House
Appropriations Committee, but on a roll-call vote in the House yesterday, the
money was restored.

Public radio and television supporters around the U.S., including many in
KUAF's listening area called and wrote Congress urging support for public
broadcasting. If the Appropriations Committee action had not be overturned by
the full House, public radio stations around the country would have been hit
hard. Nearly all money allocated by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to
public radio goes to local stations like KUAF. Less than one-percent of CPB's
budget goes to NPR.

Thanks to Arkansas' Congressional delegation for their support of public
broadcasting.
