Just read that Public broadcasting service is gone.
Congress said no more money.
What drove the nail in the coffin was the political bias from what I read..
Which is true…the far left and its ideology was running rampant…
I’m also a little saddened… there was some really good programming on there.
But it’s not quite how it used to be.

There used to be very good programming on there. Not ashamed to admit I watched it a lot years ago.

But it has changed. Go woke , go broke.

Sorry to see it go , but I would only want it back if it was like it used to be as it was years ago.

It’s not gone. Taxpayers aren’t paying for it.

This was probably the best thing from PBS.

The company that "funds" PBS and NPR is shutting operations. They could probably keep going if they got advertising like the rest of the market.

I enjoy the science and history shows on PBS. It's good for the brain.

I was wrong. CPB did make that announcement. NPR hasn’t so far.

All the company execs likely got rich from the "funds". They would be crazy and keep PBS and NPR operating when they have to actually work for their "funds".

PBS like the History Channel went woke and is nothing but drama any more.
Nothing even smells like truth any more.

I never understood why we needed taxpayer funded television or radio in the first place. Those should all be private businesses.

Good capinellia (sp?) tune , SNIPERBBB.

Another favorite quote I've heard is -
" War teaches us geography "

Whenever there is a conflict in a far flung land , you look up where that is and what kind of place it is.

It was a kids game show that ran for several years on PBS and had a few reboots. It was our Jeopardy! back then.

I play that song fairly often whenever it pops in my head.

I like “Dakotalife”, little segments about towns in SD. Im sure other states have the same kind of thing. About all I watch anymore on PBS.

I enjoy a lot of science type programming that they provide. Sad to see it go.

Never watch their news broadcast but I do like many of their shows
Antique roadshow
This old house
Rick Steves Europe
Julie Childs old shows
And many others

Watching PBS right now. I wonder when/if it will quit broadcasting

Their fiscal year ends September 30th, that'd be my guess on shutting down.

I'll miss the cartoons in the morning with my daughter, she likes Kratt brothers while we wait for mom to wake up

Can't say I will miss it but being raised in the country that was not one of the 2-3 channels available

From what I know it was political biased so good riddance as far as I am concerned

No matter if it was government or private funded
