I have, for as long as I can remember, been a staunch supporter of PBS . I have always contributed to the Pennsylvania and New Jersey channels. (I live on the borderline of both states.) I have noticed, that gradually, over the past 5-6 years, PBS political programming leans seriously towards obviously favoring and supporting Democrats, choosing to give no air time to anyone else. I can only assume that they cater to the wealthy democrats in our rich state, for example, Bergen County (New York suburbanites). I have decided I will no longer support such a media. I work hard for my money and cannot compete with your wealthy clientele. I now watch foreign broadcasts on regular channels, where I get a unbiased and global perspective. The US media has a lot to learn from foreign broadcasting, were they give us honest reporting without favoritism or their personal opinion.

PBS News Hour
As a regular listener to PBS News Hour, I appreciate your comprehensive and unbiased coverage of the climate crisis. My concern is that having partial sponsorship by BNSF Railroad might be a conflict of interest as they are one of the biggest transporters of fossil fuels in the US. While I understand that financial support of PBS is important, I think that there is also a priority to be true to ones message.
Again,I appreciate your commitment to the presentation of quality and consequential news each night. I encourage your conversation on this important topic.
Sincerely, Daniel Price

How can I get wtiu on dish TV in Clinton iN? Two pbs channels now available are out most of the time.
Buil Back Better
The second largest cost of BBB is the DALT provision. PBS Newshour appears to intentionally avoid talking about SALT to sell the bill to the public. PBS can’t use public money to advance socialist agenda. There are to many critical thinkers and please stop insulting our intelligence.
PBS Newshour
We’re really not enjoying Gary Abernathy as the excellent Jonathan Capehart’s commentary partner. For example, using Democrat Party instead of Democratic is both childish and provocative, as his is smirking. Surely you can do better.
High cost of PBS
When I was young, shows on PBS were free. Now, in order to watch most of your programming, I must pay a couple hundred dollars per year to become a member. So in effect, you have become a very expensive pay channel. Why the change in policy?

I live to see the British shows at 9 to 11 Sat. nights , and I turn on your station , and there's a football game on , when As time Goes By and Doc Martin are scheduled. Very disappointed to miss what you have on your announced schedule.
WOODRUFF
SHE ASKS SOFTBALL QUESTIONS AND HAS NO BUSINESS BEING THE MAIN NEWS READER ALL SHE SEEMS TO DO IS LOAD PBS NEWS WITH YOUNG WOMEN WHO ARE NOT EXPERIENCED and pander to them
Too much partisan politics coming from PBS Newshour
In just a few words: Judy Woodruff and Yamich Alcindor have to go. Let them move to liberal talk radio, just not a legitimate news source like the Newshour has always been until now. I’m nauseated every time I see them. I have moved to ABC Nightly News and am considering stopping my automatic donations to my local station.

He’s a Race bater! He only tells half of the truth! Conveniently leaves out facts about Black Slave owners?? His guests are all one sided! Pretty much all of your programming is very one sided! I no longer watch PBS Programming. unbelievably biased!

Please explain why the BBC Studios Suddenly Decided to No Longer Make Eastenders available to the US
Why is PBS (or CPB) not negotiating for the continued airing of the British Series, “Eastenders” on WLIW PBS TV, as it has done so for at least 20 + years? Don’t you owe a bit more of an explanation to your loyal views/donors? This program has aired for decades in American and at least 12 or more years longer in England - as the British are way ahead of us in taping and the airing of the Eastenders series.
We are shocked that WLIW PBS TV suddenly notified us (on Oct. 12, 2021) at the end of this past week’s Eastenders that they are dropping the program and the last episode will be airing on Nov 18, 2021. This was WLIW’s written statement, which was snuck in at the end of the program: “Unfortunately, BBC Studios, the show's distributor, can no longer make EastEnders available in the U.S. TPT's last available episode will air on Thursday, Nov. 18, 2021. Thank you to the many TPT Members who have specifically helped make this program possible to so many fans in our community.”
That was shocking! Why can’t BBC Studios suddenly make EastEnders available in the US? There is no explanation as to why BBC Studios has done this? Is it a money issue? If so, why not share the reason with the viewers? There are many loyal fans of the show in the US that have watched Eastenders for decades and it is like the rug has been pulled out from underneath us. Why have they not even given their viewers/donors a better understanding as to the reasons they can not negotiate a deal with BBC Studios? Isn’t there anything WLIW loyal viewers / donors can do, as a group – if PBS asks for our help?
In the past, EastEnders was almost pulled the show, but they were straight with their viewers, so the viewers donated the needed money and the programing continued. What can we do to stop this from happening once again? It’s not like the creators of Eastenders discontinued creating the show, they are way ahead of us with previously created episodes in the UK. We have friends in England who watch EastEnders several times a week and there is no talk there about pulling the show. This seems very unfair to us in the USA. My husband and I have been watching Eastenders for over 20 years. I realize it is only a soap opera, but we are rather “addicted” to the show, the characters, and the exciting story lines. It seems rather mean spirited and thoughtless to do this to your viewers/donors when we have been long time viewers and supporters of Eastenders and PBS.
What can we do to reverse this decision?? Please be straight with us as to why suddenly the BBC Studies (the show’s distributor) can no longer make Eastenders available to the US. Is it a political discrepancy or financial, are they understaffed and can not do it any longer? Surely with some diplomacy or money, the issue may be resolved. Please give us more than a thank you and goodbye!
Sincerely,
Patricia Mattone and Frank Pedagno
NPR News
I just read this article titled "Idaho's Hospitals Are Overwhelmed, But Many Locals Remain Skeptical Of Vaccines" posted on NPR early this morning, September 12, 2021. It doesn't have the name of the author listed. It credits the story being produced by the Mountain West Bureau. It doesn't have anything about where they got this information. It doesn't have anything about quotes from where they got this information and numbers and data. I talked to a hospital this morning and they denied their ICU beds were 100% full. They said that their hospital beds have not been full since the beginning of the pandemic. The research I've done for my piece, I've found conclusively different facts. There is only one truth.
Programming Information
We have a radio in Liberty, Maine and it works pretty well. I don't know if the presentation of Beethoven's Ninth is going to be available anywhere in Maine. I would appreciate some information about that.
