Summary
This article reports on the budget crisis facing Taiwan's Public Television Service (PTS). The 2026 Digital News Report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford shows that Taiwan's overall news trust stands at just 25%, far below the global average of 37%, while PTS commands a 54% trust rating, the highest among Taiwanese TV outlets. However, during the Legislature's review of the 2026 central government budget, more than NT$1 billion of the NT$2.12 billion-plus in funding allocated to PTS by the Ministry of Culture has been proposed for cuts or freezes by legislators—nearly half of the government's contribution. PTS points out that the unfreezing condition is that "PTS must form the 8th-term new board of directors," yet every step of the board reshuffle process is beyond PTS's control. A citizen petition launched by PTS producers to oppose the budget cuts and freezes surpassed 120,000 participants within three days of its launch.
Main Points
* 1. PTS tops all Taiwanese TV outlets in trust, standing in stark contrast to the broader society's low trust levels.
The Reuters Institute's 2026 report shows Taiwan's overall news trust at just 25%, while PTS reaches 54%, highlighting the unique position of public media in a low-trust environment.
* 2. Nearly half of PTS's 2026 budget faces proposed cuts and freezes in the Legislature.
Of the NT$2.12 billion-plus allocated by the Ministry of Culture, more than NT$1 billion has been proposed for cuts or freezes by legislators, with the freeze conditions tied to a board reshuffle that PTS cannot control.
* 3. The board reshuffle has become a political lever for unfreezing the budget.
PTS notes that the unfreezing condition is the formation of the 8th-term new board, but every step of the reshuffle process is beyond PTS's control, raising external concerns about using the budget to interfere with media governance.

在一個新聞信任度偏低的社會，台灣公共電視是個例外。牛津大學路透新聞學研究所2026年數位新聞報告顯示，台灣整體新聞信任度只有25%，遠低於全球平均的37%；公視的信任度卻達54%，居台灣電視媒體之冠。
此刻，它的年度預算正卡在立法院，接近半數遭提案刪除與凍結。一份由公視製作人發起、籲請立委勿刪凍預算的公民連署，上線三天多突破12萬人。
立法院正在審查的2026年度（民國115年度）中央政府總預算案裡，依立法院公報審查紀錄，文化部編列給公視的捐贈經費為21億2,185萬元；公視董監事會統計，遭立委提案刪除與凍結的金額已超過10億元，接近政府捐贈的半數。據公視指出，凍結案開出的解凍條件，是「公視須組成第八屆新董事會」。不過，董事會改選沒有一個環節由公視主導。
