—For the first time, PBS ties with military defense as #1 in tax value among 20 federally funded services and institutions, with 20% stating it as an excellent value for tax dollars.
—Americans are more satisfied with programs on PBS compared to cable and commercial broadcast. Thirty-nine percent stated they were "very satisfied" with PBS programs, while Cable programming received 25% and commercial broadcasting programming, 20%.
