a-true
b-false

Answer 1

Nonprofit radio and television stations still rely on financial support from viewers and listeners despite the establishment of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting in 1967.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that nonprofit radio and television stations no longer had to ask their audiences for financial support after the establishment of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) in 1967 is false.

While CPB does receive government funding, about half of public broadcasting stations' budgets still come from viewers and listeners, usually responding to on-air appeals. Additionally, funding for public broadcasting also comes from state and local governments, state colleges and universities, and foundations. Moreover, corporations and local businesses underwrite programs in return for on-air acknowledgments akin to advertisements.
