Take Action:
Show Your Support for Public Television
Public broadcasting is one of America’s greatest investments – and it only costs $1.35 per citizen each year.
President Trump’s budget proposal threatens federal funding for public television – which provides the foundation on which stations like KSMQ are able to provide strong local services.
Not only does KSMQ bring you the best of PBS, as well as locally and nationally produced programming, but KSMQ is also a stalwart in the community and a leader in digital publishing. If you love public media, you – yes, you – can make a difference. And now is the time to take action.
Nodding your head in agreement?
Here’s how you can express your support for the public media you love.
- Contact your legislators in the coming weeks and months to let them know you can’t imagine a world without public television and KSMQ! We won’t tell you what to say, but you can click here for suggested talking points and an email template.
- Shout your love for public media and KSMQ from the social-media rooftops! Share this post with your friends and family members on Facebook and Twitter – and encourage them to get involved.
- Make sure your KSMQ membership is current. If you regularly watch KSMQ or consume programming and content on KSMQ.org, then consider taking your affection to the next level. Become a member today.
