PBS Cost Taxpayers $1.35 A Year

Keep in mind more then a few areas of the country there's no internet or cell service. So even if people in these areas wanted to pay 120x's more to stream TV offerings they wouldn't be able to. In a few areas it may be the only TV available. Of all the stuff the U.S. budget waste money on this has to be the one which gives taxpayers the biggest bang for their buck.

The wife and I watch 100's of PBS programs and specials each year. Currently we're following 'Father Brown', 'Death In Paradise' and 'Doc Martin' each week. Who can deny 'Frontline' also does an outstanding job. I also occasionally tune in to 'France 24' on WLVT's 2nd channel. A great source for international news mostly ignored by nearly every other news organization.

Need more reasons why the government needs to continue funding PBS?

Here it is...
