Desc	Content Represents approximately 1,491 hours of broadcast content, provided by PBS to its 153 member public television licensees, to inform, inspire, engage, and educate. This expense category includes costs associated with administering programming, including content oversight, program scheduling and packaging. PBS capitalizes the cost of purchased broadcast rights (obtained principally for the National Program Service), charging such rights to expense when the program is made available to member stations for initial broadcast. Unamortized broadcast rights are shown as noncurrent assets in the consolidated statements of financial position because current portions are not readily determinable.	Desc
