As an aside, what is the deal with public/ community media ( television and radio especially) in the US? How is it funded? Who watches it? We are required by law in Britain to own a television licence which funds the BBC stations, and the BBC has the largest audience share ( but then with only five channels the competition is not exactly beating down the door)on both tv and radio, there are no commercials on BBC channels. I get the impression that the commercial stations rule the roost over there, will someone enlighten me?
