Summary of Quality Time?
The Task Force feels that public telévision must be re- invented to serve the public
properly. Their report concludes that the mission of public television should be to
enrich and strengthen American society by reinforcing our basic societal values. They
believe the system of public television needs a large fundamental structural change
including the elimination of federal funding for local stations. The Task Force
believes federal funding should be put towards national programming and that
individual stations should be supported by their communities. If federal funding was
earmarked for national programming, then the Task Force would like to see the
amount allotted raised and the source of the funding coming from non- taxpayer
sources (i.e. spectrum auctions and spectrum usage fees). Educational programming
must be expanded, while commercialization is cut back; delivery and dissemination of
this quality programming must be upgraded as well. The Task Force is also of the
opinion that the selection process for the Corporation Public Broadcasting board
members must be improved by removing the process from political influence.

Television. 1993.
