[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's that good, it can stand on its own, right?[/quote] NP, no it can’t. PBS stations don’t run advertising and what they air has education value and not commercial value. Many stations can survive via fund raising but in remote areas the money isn’t there. [/quote] The CEO of pbs lives in a mansion outside Roundhill. Long overdue to let them stand on their own [/quote] There are a lot of rural communities like rural Kansas where public broadcasting is the only way they have to get local news, weather, high school sports, agricultural updates and so on. Smoky Hills PBS serves 1.2 Kansans over 71 counties. They are going to be gutted, losing half of their budget. Seems Trump gives even less of a shit about rural "flyover country" than the democrats do.[/quote] Thanks for info about Smoky Hills.[/quote]
