No wonder there is a crisis in this Country. Nobody knows basic math. Hint, a Trillion has a few more zeros then a Million.
NPR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"In 2010, NPR revenues totaled $180 million, with the
bulk of revenues coming from programming fees, grants from foundations or business entities, contributions and sponsorships."
And:
"During the 1970s and early 1980s, the majority of NPR funding came from the federal government.
Steps were taken during the 1980s to completely wean NPR from government support, but the 1983 funding crisis forced the network to make immediate changes. Now more money to fund the NPR network is raised from listeners, charitable foundations and corporations instead.[citation needed] According to CPB, in 2009
11.3% of the aggregate revenues of all public radio broadcasting stations were funded from federal sources, principally through CPB"
