There is talk that PBS is going to be defunded. I personally love PBS. So many great shows and documentaries.

They have many shows and videos monetized on YouTube. Meaning if you watch something, they get money.

So if there is something you like watching, post it. Maybe we can keep a great American institution afloat.
 
Only 12 minutes long but very interesting.

 
I grew up watching PBS.

Mr Rogers
Monty Python
Captain Kangaroo
Reading Rainbow

Etc etc

Best leave that channel alone
 
We've been PBS member for years. That and the NYT games app are two of the best values going. It's worth every penny to get quality programming.......along with scientific and historical facts (two things that don't exist in MAGAworld). Shutting down public broadcasting would be a genuine travesty.....and the true beginning of the end of democracy.

And I also grew up on Captain Kangaroo (Jeezus did that guy span some generations) and I always remember it being on CBS....

BIG BUMP!
 
Hopefully, they can get funding elsewhere. Fucking bullshit.
 
Imagine taking educational videos away from people and going to sleep at night like you accomplished anything.

Fuck all of you who voted Trump. This is all your fault.
 
Ive been listening to a decent amount of NPR ( not familiar with all news radio channels).
Curious. What is the difference between NPR and PBS. Is it just one is radio and one is TV or do they provide different viewpoints, etc?
i don't watch enough tv to know, nor listen to enough radio.
Is NPR considered right leaning? They sound fairly impartial, so hard for me to tell. What aBout PBS?

NPR is radio. It's nonpartisan. It creates most of its own stuff. Some of its material is created by independent local stations.

PBS is TV and some online features for kids. PBS isn't political. It's kids programing. All PBS programing is created by independent local stations across the country.

PBS is some of the best stuff for kids in teaching them how to be good kids. Dealing with emotions, being kind etc.

It really is. I'm so glad to have grown up with it and that my son is growing up with it too. It taught me a lot as a kid, watching it after school and on the weekends. We subscribe to it and hopefully that keeps it alive. If they need to charge more to keep things going, I'm for it. Hopefully, it sticks around.
