Should a public broadcaster rely on advertising revenue?

Some say it’s necessary. Others say it compromises the public-service mission.

Should public media be ad-supported, publicly funded, or hybrid?

Last year, South Dakotans flooded lawmakers' inboxes in defense of SDPB after then-Governor Kristi Noem tried to cut SDPB funding.

These are the lawmakers who didn't care enough not to try again.

A unique series of 1990s-era sign-offs from the former sister TV station of Pittsburgh's #PublicBroadcasting station, WQED; #WQEX (1986-97).

From looking at older clips, WQEX was different than its sister station WQED & many Public TV stations at the time. #TVSky youtu.be/h1snSrSRHkc?...

If you could redesign one part of the CBC’s mandate, what would it be?

• Stronger local journalism
• Less reliance on ads
• More regional voices
• More digital innovation
Or something else?

What would you prioritize — and why?

#CanadianMedia #PublicBroadcasting

@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social’s mandate was last updated in 1991.

Since then, the media world has changed — from streaming to social media to AI-driven misinformation.

What should public media prioritize in 2026 and beyond?

From the Aug. 1975 edition of Forecast FM: A unique print advertisement for the Radio side of Washington's Public Broadcaster, #WETA on 90.9 FM*, a.k.a. "FM 91;" boasting that they didn't change formats with the tagline "WETA to the Rescue!" *For a brief time, WETA did change their radio format by foolishly dumping their classical/folk format in 2005 for the same news-intensive format that rival WAMU 88.5 morphed into. However, WETA resurrected their classical format after then-commercial classical rival WGMS 103.5 FM bit the dust in 2007. Ad copy: "WETA to the Rescue! Your favorite station switched formats? What are you going to do? We suggest you listen to WETA-FM stereo at 90.9. We have the most powerful signal in the Baltimore/Washington area/75,000 watts. WETA-FM programs classical music some 15 hours a day! Including the Baltimore Symphony Summer Festival. Your loss could be your gain! WETA-FM 90.9." Additional FM simulcast/relay signals of WETA-FM 90.9 in my home area of Frederick, Maryland at 88.9 FM and Hagerstown at 89.1 FM were added years later!

Maryland Public Television budget rises but federal cuts leave a funding hole DLS recommended the FY2027 allowance of $48.4 million for Maryland Public Television while flagging a federal rescission of Corporation for Public Broadcasting funds that will sharply reduce CPB grants; DLS also recommended releasing $100,000 withheld over prior audit findings if committees raise no objections.

Maryland Public Television's budget is set to increase by $3.2 million, but looming federal funding cuts could leave a significant gap in their finances.
