KQED says that Focus is a money-making venture. That's why they've
kept it in the face of opposition from members who don't feel it
has anything to do with public broadcasting.

But...you don't have to get it! Just call KQED and tell them to send
you Fine Tuning instead. That's the program-listing insert you see
in Focus. It may take them a couple of months to change your mailing,
but you won't be the only person who's requested it...

If you're wrong, you have lots of company. Does anyone have any
hard figures on this?
