Why should it have governmental funding?
(btw, they still do get some)“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Becuase by not having to sink into the muck of trying to get a high share of viewers with crap TV, they can, well, make good TV (lie having the best news broadcast in the US).If you don't like reality, change it! me

The wealth of educational programming they bring to the people?
So? Its a TV station with some educational programming. Big F'ing deal. Why do I have to pay for it?
Put that money into fixing up the public school system instead.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Shi :
This is the kind of conceptions that let the quality of TV sunk completely. In this domain, competition and market demands kill creativity and quality rather than helping it, because the channels need a regular audience they are sure to bring only through a combo of used methods and brainless programs."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

What do you pay? about 2 bucks a year.
given that we have one of the highest per student spending rates in the industrialized world (no, we have the highest) the problem with education is not needing more money.If you don't like reality, change it! me

I'm I the only one that realizes that quality educational programming should NOT be something people just let "sink"?

So instead you pour money into a channel that no one watches? What insanity!“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
