happy to do so:

notice, its not just wvia.

frankly, i'm not surprised supporters don't know.

hell, here it is from the horses mouth:

http://www.whyy.org/support/statefunding.html

but i'm not just talking about obvious line items, which thankfully,
may finally be getting killed off in Pa, i am talking about indirect
support too.

for instance, WPSU on the penn state campus.  they are subsidized by
psu, not just financially, but in terms of cheap space, (lots of it!)
cheap utility, etc...  they built a huge overkill facility with giant
plasma screens everywhere and then they cry they're broke???

we're talking about a "business" that pays no taxes, has very few
operational expenses, gets subsidized right and left, begs for money
from suckers, and still is in the red????  are you kidding me?

how can this be?  b/c not only do they have TOO MANY useless people,
but like so many gov't employees, they get paid WAY TOO MUCH.  thats
just the fact of the matter.
