[SOURCE: Broadcasting&Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
Cheryl Halpern was re-elected chairman of the board of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which administers the funding allocated by Congress for public broadcasting. While her election was by general consensus, there was no consensus on who should be vice chairman. After three ballots there was a deadlock on the race between incumbent Gay Hart Gaines and Elizabeth Courtney. Courtney came from the station ranks and is former chairman of the Association of Public Stations, which has been pushing for changes to board leadership, including more representation from the station ranks.
