Travel
In cooperation with a group of leading Public Broadcasting Stations, Burt has developed a travel company that takes PBS viewers on tours and cruises throughout the world. By promoting the cruises on the stations, the company receives millions of dollars of free media exposure. And by passing on a substantial amount of the income to the stations, the company has been able to offer considerable support to Public Broadcasting. The company is a limited liability corporation owned by Burt and PBS viewers who have traveled with him on his cruises. Recently, the company began to offer additional tours and cruises hosted by local PBS personalities.

Famous quotes containing the word travel:
