....They won't be able to afford the ten billionth rerun of "Are you being served?"!!!!......
My wife had a series on the local PBS channel that ran for 25 years. She taught the Mother/baby care course that ran at odd times but went on and on and on. It was the longest coutinuous running show on the station.
It may still be on.

They already tried that. Cutting funding would be a LOT easier than changing the culture. If you put a conservative in charge, he will have the entire corporation fighting and resisting him. Liberal politicians and the MSM will demonize him. Some Democrat prosecutor will indict him for corruption. He'd have to fire everyone and start all over from scratch. Even the guys at Car Talk are sick liberals when they get off cars and onto politics.
Easier to pull their funding and let them figure out a solution.
