The per capita rate for South Dakota can be higher because the population is lower in South Dakota than other states. It’s also more costly to provide service in rural areas and much of South Dakota is rural, Howlett said. The $5.5 million from the state covers the engineers and infrastructure needed to operate and maintain the 23 TV and radio stations as well as the towers, Howlett said. Also in danger is the daily coverage of meetings during each legislative session. Howlett said then-Republican Gov. Dennis Daugaard established this program to provide media coverage independent of any state agency to serve as a watchdog.
