Since Paul is from New Hampshire, he might be interested in the latest
financial information from NHPR, for the fiscal year ended 2002-09-30.
Donations (``Membership''): 1,221,886
Advertising (``Underwriting''): 1,564,774
CPB (``Taxpayer-funded''): 320,406
Other revenue and donations: 195,237
Expenses (from the same statement):
Programming: 1,454,678
Overhead: 1,290,449
Operations: 307,053
ID&A: 271,887
That overhead is split up about equally among sales (``underwriting
development''), membership premiums, and administration. (If I were a
potential member, I'd be a bit concerned about the high level of
membership expense, at 31% of membership revenue.)
Overall, NHPR lost $21,763 dollars last fiscal year. I suspect that,
whatever happens, the CPB funding as a fraction of expenses will not
have increased when this year's financials are released.
