Public TV stations fared better than radio in key fundraising categories during fiscal year 2021.
The number of licensees carrying debt ratios of more than 50 percent has nearly tripled since 2009, according to CPB’s latest “state of the system” report.
Reductions in tax-based support for pubcasting have shortened the financial gap between public television and radio stations, accelerating public TV’s decade-long financial decline and demonstrating resilience within segments of the public radio system.
