Surprisingly few, these days, actually. Most Non-Coms exist by
listener support, corporate grant, and CPB funding.

But very little actual tax money.

That's one reason why Non-Coms frequently have such fine facilties.
They don't have to survive on ratings based advertising revenue streams.

The corporations and individuals get a tax break for contributing.
These funds must be made up elsewhere. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big
supporter of publicly funded media (it's purer) but don't blow smoke
up my ass about who pays for it.

All costs of doing business are expenses and figure into the cost of all
goods and services. As to individuals, the tax codes are structured to
encourage private persons to engage in philanthropy. This, as I have said,
has nothing specific to do with radio.

No. I don't mean to say that at all. Corporations are non-living
entities and are not capable of being evil.

The benefits of public broadcasting are enjoyed by everyone.
