Public Broadcasting Act
The Public Broadcasting Act is a US law passed in 1967 that forms the basis for public broadcasting in the United States . After saying goodbye, numerous TV and radio stations emerged as public broadcasters. To date, over 150 TV and over 800 radio stations broadcast as independent and listener-financed institutions under the Public Broadcasting Act.
law
Law 47 USC laid the legal basis for public broadcasting in the United States. The institutions of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the television network Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the radio network National Public Radio (NPR) were created on this basis.
meaning
The CPB created under the law promotes local public radio stations. With their help, the local broadcasters should develop innovative programs. The aim is to promote a non-commercial broadcasting in the sense of the public interest ("public interest") in the whole country.
Institutions
In addition to CPB and the US-wide program producers NPR and PBS, regional public broadcasting companies were established in almost all states . Many individual radio stations operate as so-called NPR stations with takeovers of the NPR program.
