But that 12% is a very tiny expenditure in the vast scheme of the Federal budget. And only a fraction of what is spent on public broadcasting in Canada and Great Britian. The percentage of funding from private sources has grown tremendously over the years. PBS wouldn't exist viewer support donations.
