The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) is a non-profit corporation created by an act of the United States Congress and funded by the United States federal government to promote public broadcasting. Between 15 and 20 percent of the aggregate revenues of all public broadcasting stations have been funded from federal sources, principally through the CPB. The CPB was created on November 7, 1967, when U.S. president Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. The new organization initially collaborated with the existing National Educational Television network. In 1969, the CPB talked to private groups to start the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.pbs.org/johngardner/chapters/4d.html )〕 In 1970, the CPB formed National Public Radio (NPR), a radio network consisting of public stations.〔 The CPB provides some funding for the PBS, NPR, and, to a lesser extent, for other broadcasters that are independent of those organizations. In more recent years, the CPB has started funding some Internet-based projects. ==Funding of and by the corporation== The CPB's annual budget is composed almost entirely of an annual appropriation from Congress plus interest on those funds. For fiscal year 2014, its appropriation was US$445.5 million, including $.5M in interest earned. The distribution of these funds was as follows:〔(Fiscal Year 2014 Operating Budget, Corporation for Public Broadcasting, accessed September 24, 2014 )〕 * $222.78M for direct grants to local public television stations; * $74.63M for television programming grants; * $69.31M for direct grants to local public radio stations; * $26.67M for PBS support; * $22.84M for grants for radio programming and national program production and acquisition; * $22.25M for CPB administrative costs; * $7.00M for the Radio Program Fund. Public broadcasting stations are funded by a combination of private donations from listeners and viewers, foundations and corporations (59.4% of 2010 total revenues of all stations), state and local taxes (21.8% of 2010 total revenues), local and national underwriting, and federal funds, principally through the CPB (15.5% of 2010 total revenues).〔(Public Broadcasting Revenue: Fiscal year 2010 )〕 About 90% of the 2005 budget was distributed to public broadcasters across the U.S., including both local and national organizations. Stations that receive CPB funds must meet certain requirements,〔(Certification Requirements for Station Grants Recipients )〕 such as the maintenance or provision of open meetings, open financial records, a community advisory board, equal employment opportunity, and lists of donors and political activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Corporation for Public Broadcasting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
