Ayesha Roscoe

I am another long-term public broadcasting listener and supporter who cannot stand Ayesha Roscoe’‘s voice. She sounds like she is yelling half of the time and much of the rest of the time she speaks with a high-pitched excessively “perky” voice. Unfortunately, her voice distracts from the content. I know I am not the only one who finds her voice so annoying. I think I’ve listened to my last Sunday morning broadcast thanks to Ayesha.

Lack of close captioning on StoryCorps Animated Shorts

PBS claims to support diversity, yet airs animated shorts by StoryCorps which do not have any captioning. Are you only supportive of some types of diversity, but do not support persons with hearing disabilities? You should not show or support these shorts unless they have captioning. Period. I have long been a member of my local PBS station and am really disturbed every time you show these animated shorts - I cannot understand them without captioning.

Maintaining Program Integrity at WCBU, Peoria

The Peoria, IL public television station, WCBU, has undergone dramatic changes in the past few months. A new board has emerged, with a very conservative board president. News reports indicate he has obtained large amounts of money from unnamed donors, with questionable intent. Speculation points to his wanting to change the format to a conservative offering, and this could impact programming and damage the way news and entertainment are produced. Please don't let this wonderful station become a FOX news, Evangelical option. Thank you. D***a W*****y, Galva, IL 61434

PBS/Newshour audio levels

It appears that audio levels have been automated to a degree resulting in louder levels after even slight pauses. Very annoying. Give the ability to set levels back to humans.

PBS NewsHour and Washington Week

Years ago, the PBS NewsHour and later Washington Week would have comments sections where viewers could express their opinions. I was constantly shocked at how ill-informed the viewers were. I would write of events which I took for granted that everyone was familiar with. The commenters would think I was making things up and I would have to cite links from liberal sources such as the NYT and Washington Post. What is shocking is that PBS was content to have such uninformed viewers. Even today, on most issues, they present only one side.

Amna Nawaz

I really like the new team of Amna Nawaz and Geoff Bennett. They are knowledgeable and adult and lead the broadcast in a very professional manner. Good transition!

Silence on Israel Supreme Court Decisions

On NPR recently we have learned of two important Israel Supreme Court decisions limiting the powers of Benjamin Netanyahu. Yet on PBS we have heard nothing. Why? Are Foundations censoring content?

PBS NewsHour

What I like best about the PBS NewsHour is that they begin each program describing how Israel is winning the war against Hamas. Naturally Amna Wanaz is disappointed since her sympathies lie with the Hamas terrorists, whom she describes as “militants”.

News hour

Amna Nawaz I commend her for her very sensitive and cogent interview tonight with the woman who was recently released from Hamas prison. And I commend that courageous woman for telling her story in such a straightforward and respectful way.
