Gov. Sam Brownback (R-KS) is proposing a big cut in state funding for public radio and TV stations, but he also appears to have abandoned a previous effort to eliminate the funding altogether. He is proposing $600,000 in funding for public TV and radio in each of the next two fiscal years, down 42 percent from the current figure of slightly more than $1 million a year. The next fiscal year begins July 1. Two years ago, Gov Brownback sought to end all funding for public broadcasting.
