PBS CEO: People Don’t Really Understand the Structure of Public Broadcasting at All, We’re Not a Network

EXCERPT:

KERGER: “I think people don't really understand the structure of public broadcasting at all. So we're not a network. I talked about the fact that there are 330 PBS stations. They're all independent. They're all locally loaned, operated, governed. It's the same on the NPR side. So our organization is responsible for putting together the programming and to make sure that our stations have the infrastructure in order to serve their communities. That means broadcast capabilities and so forth. That's all the job of PBS.”
