Corporate undewriting would dry up pretty quickly if, there were

Once, during one of the ubiquitous beg-a-thons that KPBS seems to always be in
the midst of, I told a cold call phone person that I wasn't about to donate
anything to support their station's operations as long as they were running so
much commercial advertising, and that they could simply charge more for those
spots and learn to operate within the revenue generated like the all the other
stations in town.


Would you pay if they had no commercials and instead were scrambled?
