Public Broadcasting In Florida Struggling

After all state funding for public broadcasting in Florida was eliminated by Governor Rick Scott , stations are left struggling to make ends meet. Eric Deggans reports in the Tampa Bay Times that stations are looking for funding from usual and unusual sources. One station has done a scrap metal drive. That will be followed by a golf tournament. Others are looking for more underwriting and increasing the length of member drives. Some stations have eliminated services like reading services for the blind. Others are cutting back on local programming.
