My wife gets the Japanese NHK public TV network on Dish and it's filled with many marvelous programs that I enjoy even though I don't speak Japanese.
NHK works to strengthen the country moral fiber and unify the country whereas PBS doesn't do nearly enough to elevate our national life.
A great example of what can be done in America is the Taiga Drama series, an annual mega-drama that spans 50 episodes -- 45 minutes per week (no commercial interruption).
Each Taiga Drama is a melodrama featuring an era in Japanese history (usually the samurai period). Each Drama is centered around one man or one woman who was an important figure, or someone related to an important figure.
The word "Taiga" in Taiga Drama means "Great River" in the sense that a person's life can be considered a long river of experience.
The production values and musical score are always standouts in these Dramas.
Imagine if 100 of Hollywood's top actors got together every year to produce -- not a politically charged film -- but a morality play that reinforces the national values of loyalty, dedication, chivalry, loyalty, family, and sacrifice.
The closest thing to this in America was the series on the Civil War many years ago.
And the actors in the Taiga Drama span all ages. Kid actors are prominent in the first two or three episodes of each year's drama (5-minute YouTube example)
Then actors in their 20s and 30s dominate the rest of the episodes -- and many of these actors are stunningly handsome dressed in the costumes of the period.
Senior actors are also prominent, and many of them were stars in previous Dramas spanning 30 years.
So I spent some time with this description because it's a model for what great public programming can be. We can only hope that the MAGA movement will inspire similar heights of national art in America.
