His speech was followed by an influential study on “#EducationalTelevision” from the Carnegie Corporation. It concluded that the #FederalGovernment should finance a system of stations to produce programming that was “of human interest & importance” without regard for the free-market incentives of ratings or ad revenue. The Johnson admin then did just that, in line with its #GreatSociety program.

Karly Kingsley:
"True, they'll continue and survive, but that 15% goes to serve underserved communities who rely on it, not PBS Corporate, so all they're doing is hurting marginalized and vulnerable communities. Many rural or small stations don’t have the underwriting or donors like big cities do, that means it'll be harder for them to specifically stay open. They're attacking communities via PBS, not the other way around."

#MollyOfDenali One of my favorite #PBSKids shows!

"An action-adventure comedy that follows the adventures of feisty and resourceful 10-year-old Molly Mabray, an Alaska Native girl, her dog Suki, and friends Tooey and Trini on their adventures in epically beautiful Alaska."

The #Grifters running #Amerikkka are calling public media a grift! Probably because they embrace DEI and aren't afraid to criticize the #Fascist administration! This will not only cripple or destroy #PublicTelevision stations, #CommunityRadio also receives money from the #CPB!!!

White House calls #NPR and #PBS a “grift,” will ask Congress to rescind funding

By Jon Brodkin, April 15, 2025

Excerpt: "In a statement provided to Ars today, PBS CEO Paula Kerger said that 'the effort underway to get Congress to rescind public media funding would disrupt the essential service PBS and local member stations provide to the American people. There's nothing more American than PBS, and our work is only possible because of the bipartisan support we have always received from Congress... Without PBS member stations, Americans will lose unique local programming and emergency services in times of crisis.' "

This is one of my favorite songs from the cartoon. Very relaxing and something I'd sing to my future kid. No joke.

For those who watched PBS in the early 2000's, you'll remember 1 very calm and extremely soothing talking Sloth named Snook. One of my favorite characters in a show that hasn't aged well but that I still enjoy sometimes. Peter Lins was a great choice for the role. Enjoy my friends.
