Hey, I Turned on the Networks, My Satellite Service, Then My Streaming Service, Then YouTube, and Found Out There’s Absolutely No Viable Alternative to PBS. Fund It, Hicks!
There used to be a slogan, “If not PBS, who?” …. Answer: Discover, History Channel, Food Network, etc, etc … any worthwhile programming left over after the Corp. For Public Broadcasting were to disappear could be picked up & the networks could make money off of it. The rest? Who cares! Pretty much the same story for the hosers at NPR. Do yer thing, DOGE!
I disagree. Reruns of The Red Green Show and America’s Test Kitchen/Cook’s Country can’t carry PBS on their own.
It’s on AM Radio all the time. It’s the hip place to be…for Hipsters.
I think my wife listened to NPR once.
Everything I watch can be found at BBC , Brit Box or Acorn TV…

I once saw a commercial on PBS that I quite liked; and then I thought, “Wait — why am I watching a commercial on PBS?”
Then again, Sesame Street has made $$$ out the &$##-‘n wazoo for the past half century now!
All I’m gonna say is that I was first exposed to Monty Python from my local PBS station.
Me too.
It’s a fair cop…
I blame society.
But it’s my only line!
