Public television stations across the state are facing a crisis. By May 2003 all public TV stations in the country must convert to digital broadcasting technology. But Minnesota's public broadcasters are having trouble funding the switch, and the Legislature in its recent session provided far less money than supporters had requested. As a result, some stations including TPT in the Twin Cities may eliminate popular programming, and others could have to shut down altogether.
