PROFILE |
 |
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is often on the "Frontline" of political controversy. The not-for-profit organization has come under fire from political factions opposed to government cultural spending. Appropriations from Congress help CPB fund cultural, educational, and informational programming for more than 1,000 public television and radio stations, mostly Public Broadcasting Service, National Public Radio, and Public Radio International stations. Funding has been approved through 2003, despite a 1999 investigation that revealed some PBS stations had given their mailing lists to the Democratic party for fundraising purposes.
