Of the radio money $100m is "unrestricted" grants to local public radio stations, $35m "restricted" meaning by law that it must be spent on programming made by... whuddayaknow! NPR and PRI. In truth, a huge portion of local public radio station budgets (funded primarily by CPB, NEH, NEA and state appropriations, not to mention free studios and equipment) is "spent" on NPR programming. NPR pretends that this this is all some sort of private enterprise, although the shell-game financial practices are enough to make an Enron accountant blush.
If NPR is really a "private non-profit," let's see how much they can make by selling their programming to commercial radio stations.
