Which statement about the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 is accurate?

• A. It established the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which oversees PBS and NPR
• B. It created the Federal Communications Commission
• C. It shut down public broadcasting
• D. It mandated all broadcasting to be public domain

Answer: (A)

The idea here is how public broadcasting is organized and funded. The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to oversee and distribute federal funds for non‑commercial educational broadcasting, establishing the framework that supports public television and radio. This structure led to the formation of the national networks PBS (television) and NPR (radio), which operate through member stations and rely on CPB funding and policy guidance. The other statements don’t fit history: the FCC predates this act and is a separate regulator, public broadcasting was not shut down, and the act does not require all broadcasting to be in the public domain.
