Funding, 1957-1994

 Sub-Series

This subseries is divided into two categories: long range and federal funding. Long range funding covers public television's attempts to raise money outside of the funds allotted to them by the federal government. Such actions involved auctions, public subscription, underwriting, and pledge drives. Materials include memos, correspondence, press releases, and clippings. Federal funding covers the relationship between the U.S. government and public broadcasting. The category focuses on public broadcasting's attempts to maintain federal funding during the early 1970's, despite President Nixon's disapproval. Documents include government papers, memos, reports and clippings. The materials in both categories are arranged chronologically.
