On NPR - What makes a good airline pilot

[Falconjet]

The government should absolutely fund public broadcasting.......even more so than they are now. Even though public broadcasting is underwritten and funded partially by endowments, it is still far more free of commercial influence than for-profit broadcasting. News isn't news unless it is completely free from the constraints of profit motive, period.

And social engineering.

Your opinion is duly noted,

About 2% of NPR's funding comes from bidding on government grants and programs, chiefly the Corporation for Public Broadcasting; the remainder comes from member station dues, foundation grants, and corporate underwriting.

That was $2.4M in 2005.

Do you have the percentage breakdown?
