Kansas public broadcasting subsidy under threat in Topeka budget fight
Kansas lawmakers return to resolve subsidies for public broadcasting after funding shrank from 3.8 million in 2008 to 600 thousand in the coming year. Some support preserving funding while others argue taxpayers should not fund media that competes with private industry. Stations warn of potential cuts, fewer staff, and possible loss of federal matching funds.
