New funding process frustrates small stations

MinnPost - New funding process frustrates small public radio stations
Some are saying the change in the way the State of Minnesota funds public radio is politically motivated. "The only reason it was done that way was just because a bunch of Republicans didn't want to give money to MPR," charges Rep. Ryan Winkler, DFL-Golden Valley. 

An article in the Minnesota Post reports that the opposite has happened. The smaller stations, members of AMPERS and independent of Minnesota Public Radio, ended up with smaller grants and MPR has ended up with more.
