How much money was saved by not sending NIST time codes over GOES satellites? I'm sure that was much less than $36M/year to continue, probably not even 1% of that.
I'm strongly for high diversity in time distribution. GPS is great, but putting all our eggs in the GPS basket seems very unwise. At the moment I have GPS, CHU, WWV, and WWVB, but more diversity would be better, and I hope I can add some variant of LORAN back to the list soon.
