they could more easily lose congressional funding once they demonstrate this model of income Couldn't you extend that same logic to all efforts by PBS to secure donations or reduce costs as well? PBS shouldn't get too many donations because they could lose congressional funding if they're too good at it. PBS shouldn't cut costs because if they spend less, Congress won't give them as much money... Very sad day for US culture. Just imagine the news about something nasty the oil or coal industry just did and then there's a cut-away to a commercial from big oil telling you how wonderful they are. PBS has accepted commercial underwriters for decades.
