Even though Sesame Street and the late Fred Rogers educated generations of children, the uber-Moonbat programming such as Now with Bill Moyers turns normal people away.

Buy them out on the cheap and broadcast nothing but old TV shows, Kung Fu movies, and reruns of MST3K. The station would have a helluva lot more viewers and more original programming.

This is what happens when there isn’t any accountability for their programming. LIke you said it turns people off. I can’t help wondering what they spent the money on. Big fat salaries for the managers? Probably.

PBS has the best HD nature programming available on broadcast. Loving it.

[Archon of the East]

Eliminate PBS and their clear bias. No tax dollar should be spent on this garbage heap of propaganda.

[ConservativeMind]

That station has the most advanced HDTV setup in all of downstate Illinois. They’ve had it for roughly five years, at that.

They have been completely cutting edge, but I didn’t expect they were that much in debt. Since Caterpillar is based there, I thought they had funded the expense.

Wow.

Sell NPR & PBS to Err-America for $1, and be done with them.

[fella]

Geeeee, I wonder if the managers could take a cut in their six figure salaries and perks?

Bank of America and Commerce Bank demanded it pay off a $10.3 million loan.

"And we never got the tote bags and coffee mugs, either!"

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

The question PBS used to ask was “If PBS doesn’t do it, who will?”

The answer turned out to be “Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel, Nickolodean, The History Channel, etc.”

Oops.

Why do we need Pravda anyway?

[CPT Clay]

Dfund PBS and NPR

[Cicero]

As far as I’m concerned, the only saving grace of PBS was the classical music. But they long since dumped that, in favor of brainwashing 24/7.
