Save NPR and PBS — but without the government money

A certainty of the media marketplace is that if there is content consumers truly want, money to produce and support that content will somehow show up.  

Supporters of public broadcasting outlets PBS and NPR should start pondering how much demand there really is for the content those entities produce. If there is sufficient demand, funding mechanisms will emerge to keep them functioning, even without taxpayer dollars provided by the government. And if the demand is not there, then PBS and NPR should disappear.
