Future Funding for CPB including PBS and NPR

Now seems the right time for the networks of PBS and NPR to remove the constant on-air begging from members to fund programming and ask our new President and Congress to include all funding in his newly proposed 2021 congressional bill to fund national infrastructure, now known as "The Americans Jobs Plan", Please have the member stations go into lobby overdrive. If $1.35 for each citizen, can fund 25% of the CPB budget, then $5.40 per year for each citizen, will completely fund all operations and we can get rid of those on-air public begging, as well as corporate commercials that have crept into the programming lineups. Of course many of those supporting corporations want something in return. It has now become to also share their purpose and what they do. Previously, the names of the donor corporations would suffice. $1.8 billion in Federal funding per year, would support it all. It's a huge difference from what UK residents are said to contribute: Over $400 per TV set is is charged per year for each UK citizen to support the BBC.
