Here’s a photo of when the PBS people let me see the newshour set after I went to their offices for a focus group— I totally second everything in the video above! PBS is great and so, so vital!! Please protect public television and public radio!!!
Republicans have wanted to kill PBS for years.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if hundreds of thousands of people suddenly started tuning in to watch PBS News Hour?
WOULDN’T IT?!?
Also, SUPPORT PBS. They get not very much funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (which unevenly doles out $500M a year to 1,300 radio and tv stations, a mere $385K each if averaged out. The rest is member donations and grants from nonprofit foundations, the latter of which have increasingly been announced in “it’s not an ad but kind of an ad” ways which skirts the rules.
They have apps on all the streaming platforms and devices, and you can buy a PBS Passport membership to get access to their complete library.
