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. 35955580 3084688 2768813 Technology and Operations Represents the scheduling and logging of all satellite feeds; media operation center handling, technical evaluation and other pre-transmission processing of all program video; and program origination transmission including operational support for news and other live event coverage.
