Public radio standards adopted

WASHINGTON - Public radio stations will have to show that listeners are tuning in or that a large chunk of their funds comes from the community before they get government grants under new rules approved Monday.

Tying government funding to station performance, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting said the nation's 600 public radio stations will be required to have at least 12 percent of the listening audience in their coverage areas or get at least 18 percent of their funding from nongovernment sources, such as subscriber pledges and corporate donations.
