What would happen to Idaho Public Television without state funding? Hayat Norimine, The Idaho Statesman
Mar. 10 Updated 5:34 p.m. on March 10, 2021, to include comments from House Minority Leader Ilana Rubel.
Idaho Public Television narrowly held onto its state funding Monday as House members considered whether to vote down an appropriation bill over complaints about partisan programming shows that dealt with issues like race and climate change.
After some debate on the floor, the House in a 36-34 vote approved House Bill 283, which would accept Idaho Public Television s $9.6 million budget total and appropriate $2.7 million from the state general fund.
Critics said the broadcast is unfavorable toward conservative Republicans and provided programming about racism and white privilege. State funding is not used for its content, which is financially supported by private donations and federal grants.

The five-hour festival, which will be streamed exclusively at dso.org, will run from 2 to 7 p.m.
Mark Stryker, author of “Jazz from Detroit” and a former Detroit Free Press arts reporter and music critic, will serve as host. Performers include saxophonist McPherson with pianist Randy Porter, bassist Hurst and Black Current Jam, saxophonist Elliot and pianist Michael Malis (performing as Balance), and violinist Carter with Xavier Davis.
“The musicians in the marathon reflect the full sweep of Detroit’s extraordinary jazz legacy,” Stryker said. “Alto saxophonist Charles McPherson is one of the heroes to emerge from the city s legendary bebop explosion of the 1950s, and he remains at the top of his game in 2021. Violinist Regina Carter and bassist Robert Hurst came to international stardom in the 1980s and ‘90s. Saxophonist Marcus Elliot and pianist Michael Malis are among the leading lights of Detroit’s scene today.
