I have noticed over the last three years that "words from out sponsors" (which I translate as "commercials") have increased to degree that is very irritating, distracting. I send in donations to my local NPR station KPCC twice a year to make sure programming continues for the "public," not commercial interests. With more commercials on all the NPR programs I Iisten to I am concerned that business interests will influence programming. The public deserves better. Was not the creation of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to provide commercial free broadcasting to the public or has that been sidetracked? Please ensure that all public broadcasting is focused on the public.
Thank you for your time, attention, funding, and overseeing public broadcasting.
P.S. I was not able to find a way to contact the Ombudsman.
