CPB

In 1967 President Johnson signed the law that created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a funding organization that also serves as a firewall between public broadcasting and political influence. Currently, the CPB is facing proposed budget cuts and pressure to “balance” its content. Host Melinda Penkava speaks with NPR’s David Folkenflik who has been covering the story; Joan Siefert Rose, the General Manager of WUNC; Tom Howe, the General Manager of UNC-TV; and Cliff Kincaid, head of the organization “Accuracy in the Media.” Listener Call-in.
