According to this page [1] PBS only receives about 15% of its funds from federal funding. The rest is from donations.

So this certainly won't be the death of PBS, as I had feared.

Update 2: For the record (easier to respond in this original post than to each response), I am not defending the decision at all. I grew up listening to NPR, and have been on recurring monthly donations to PBS for years.

I was genuinely curious about what percentage comes from federal funds. So I am just trying to level-set and get ahead of any hysteria about the actual impact.
