The Corporation for Public Broadcasting(CPB) is a non-profit corporation created by an act of the United States Congress, funded by the United States’ federal government to promote public broadcasting. Historically, 15~20% of the aggregate revenues of all public broadcasting stations have been funded from federal sources, principally through the CPB.
The CPB’s annual budget is composed almost entirely of an annual appropriation from Congress plus interest on those funds For fiscal year 2010, its appropriation was US $422 million (including $2 million in interest earned). The distribution of these funds was as follows:
- $21.0 million (a maximum of 5% of the total budget) for CPB administrative costs
- $25.2 million (a maximum of 6% of the total budget) for funds to support the Public Broadcasting Service generally, as opposed to specific stations.
- $281.85 million (66.8% of the total budget) for public television, distributed as:
~$210.26 million as grants to individual public television stations
~$71.59 million for public television programming
- $93.94 million (22.3% of total budget) for public radio, distributed as:
~$65.41 million as grants to individual public radio stations
