The company
PBS is the national schedule. The stations are local. Passport is the same programs, paid, for people who want them when the broadcast is over. The score does not change because you paid.
Who owns it
Member stations. Funded by the stations, Congress through the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and viewers. The mix is public and argued about, and this page does not settle the argument.
Public offices
Lobbying, when the parent reports it, is in the parent's filings. This page does not invent a political motive for the shelf.
Who connects to whom
Tap a name. The lines are ownership, a job, a lawsuit, or a marriage that is already in the record. Index funds are holders, not editors.

The eight, over time
