Starting Jan. 1, KCET-TV Channel 28 is severing its relationship with PBS to become the nation's largest independent public TV station. Los Angeles' flagship PBS channel will begin airing local programs, BBC repeats, news and documentaries made elsewhere, as KOCE-TV Channel 50 in Orange County carries most of the PBS shows for Southern California.
If major cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., can sustain a PBS player, why not Los Angeles?

Among other programming choices on the new version of KCET will be a parade of news programs from Russia, Japan, Korea, France and a nightly broadcast of Al Jazeera.

The new Channel 28 sucks even more than the old Channel 28.

Wall to wall “viewer choice” nights because nobody likes what they put on.

The public tv network here in SC is rumored to be a target of severe budget cuts.

I meant nationally but cutting it on the state and local level would be great too

Si, they had some Spanish-language programming on the old KCET and probably keeping some on the new KCET. In fact, one of the new sub-channels is entirely en espanol.

A fair amount of the state drones aren’t too thrilled with Nikki H. Cuts have to come and propping something up like public broadcasting isn’t that practical now. SCETV has maybe used 7 or 8 of its 9 lives over the past few decades.

It either moved back to Oakland or re-located to St. Louis.

For people who get the TV via cable, there are a half dozen PBS stations that the cable companies “must carry” in the so cal area. They all carry the same programming, so it is a little silly for more than one to exist.

If major cities such as New York and Washington, D.C., can sustain a PBS player, why not Los Angeles? Because the rich liberals who sponsor PBS in Los Angeles have moved out of state to get away from the illegals that they helped bring into the state.
