Funding of public TV still out of focus
Kansas public television funding remains unsettled as state and local agencies dispute how to split operating costs for new stations. Public TV Board director Lemen favors at least 50 percent local funding with minimum 150000 budget, while Governor Bennett aides hint at 100000 state share. Existing Wichita Topeka Kansas City stations currently share 100000 annual grants and construction funds this year.
