In his New York Times article, Charles McGrath ponders the necessity of public television, noting the abundance of speciality cable channels and increasing costs to create stellar programming.  McGrath points out that while public television continues to experience shrinking audiences, public radio actually has increasing listeners with "30 million listeners now, compared to just 2 million in 1980."
