Full blown privatization. Might as well rebrand these stations as "The Learning Channel".
Can't wait until PBS is hosting Love Island and NPR is home to Liberal Joe Rogan.
That wasn't my takeaway from the article. This sounded like it would be pooled and divided up to keep as many of the small regional stations operating as possible, and they acknowledge that they won't all make it but they want to save what they can so these pockets of the country are specifically not left to only be served by mainstream for-profit media.
If anyone is truly interested in seeing NPR/PBS being saved in it's current scope and hasn't yet read the article, I thought it was very worth the read. It's NYT, but a gift link so you can read it all without any hassle.
