As a matter of fact, it already happens; much of the pledge money which Public television stations raise is matched dollar-for-dollar by various and sundry Federal agencies. Remember, too, that if the government funds PBS stations entirely, then the whole world will start screaming 'censorship' when something *doesn't* appear because the sponsor (the US Government) refuses to sponsor it. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Henry C.
