NONCOMMERCIAL TV NOT SO DIFFERENT

John Lawson is president of the Association of Public Television Stations, a Washington trade group that represents 361 noncommercial TV stations. He says his members are coping with many of the same issues for-profit TV stations are -- must carry, the DTV transition and more. They also share commercial broadcasters' enthusiasm for the medium. “We do have the opportunity to bring back over the air,” he says. “It’s perceived as a dinosaur right now, but it doesn't have to be. DTV is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the broadcasting industry to reinvent itself."
