Grant refund

Hello, just a quick THANK YOU for alerting Vanguard Charitable about the lack of correspondence between my grant to CPB and my wishes or focus on public television (specifically the PBS Newshour). As a result of your query, I will make another gift with those funds that is more targeted to my specific focus.

PBS News hour

Way to liberal leftists minded, this is sad and frustrating when trying to access real news and commentary. Please please stop the biased reporting and commentary, it’s to the point that I no longer believe that I should support PBS.

Ayesha Roscoe

I've tried, I think she is trying but Ayesha Roscoe's grating voice is incredibly painful to listen to. I turn off the radio as soon as I hear it and I miss the Sunday morning show. I'm sure she is a very good reporter, please move her to a different slot.

Rick Steve's Travels

I have been watching the Rick Steve Travel show for many years. Actually, its a wonderful way to see the world and learn the do's and don'ts from each cultures. But now I'm beginning to ask myself, since I'm a women of color, do Rick not run into any people of color in his travels that have help made the hillsides and communities what they are. This is the year 2023, and in all my years of watching his show there are never people of color and how their customs and accomplishment help shape the none of the places he has travels.

Why is KLCS always broadcasting DEAD AIR?

Trying to watch Consuelo Mack on KLCS, Saturday, 12/02/2023@ 03:30. Nothing but dead air. Is this how you are spending our PUBLIC BROADCASTING MONEY? Why should we ever choose to fund a horrible station like yours?

Wisconsin Northwoods program tonight

When paused, the banner reads Wiconsin Special Treasures: Northwoods. Channel 21.1. Kind of a shame. I was looking so forward to the program, but seeing THAT typo kind of wrecked it. Especially on Wisconsin PBS.

Amna Nawaz

Whereas 80% of Americans support Israel over Hamas, the PBS NewsHour newsroom seems to be the opposite, with at least 80% supporting Hamas. Co-anchor Amna Nawaz doesn’t even pretend to be an objective professional journalist. Jim Lehrer must be spinning in his grave at what they did to his program.

Washington Week in Review

What a relief and a pleasure to see Lisa Desjardins moderating Washington Week in Review on November 24, 2023! Up until the most recent appointment, all the hosts I've ever seen on the program, from Paul Duke onward, have been both warm and engaging, while also always keeping the focus on the panelists. In short, they never seemed to be modeling themselves on late-night talk-show hosts. Please, enough with the performative bantering!

Broken link

I am trying to reach the Accounting Principles pdf and the link appears to be broken: https://www.cpb.org/stations/principles/

Documentaries and other videos on PBS

I want to ask about the resources that the corporation for public broadcasting have for archiving important show on PBS. I have a film degree and a history minor. Many shows, such as Nova, were part of my upbringing. My father supported PBS when I was a child in the 60s and 70s. I fear that many of the documentaries and informational shows will be lost to future generations because there seems to be no effort to restore and archive them. I wanted to get a copy of Nova's Flood!, The documentary on the Great Flood of 1993. However, It was not available.
