According to reports from the Associated Press and other sources, funding for Public Broadcasting in Kansas is going to be cut...not eliminated. In 2011 Governor Sam Brownback proposed the elimination all funding. This year's proposal is to fund $600,000 in operating grants. Brownback is proposing the same amount for the following year. The proposed figure represents a cut of 42% over the current funding level.
