Fund raising programmes
Feedback:
To whom it may concern I understand that you need to fund raise, however I now dread your weeks of fund raising because all that is played are reruns of musical programs which are run every fund raiser week! I just turn off PBS Vermont until fund raising is over. I do not think that is what you want, to receive donations. I remember many years ago when you had British comedy themes, e.g. Fawlty Towers or mystery themes, cooking shows, etc. I would watch those. Would you ever consider those ideas again? Looking forward to your reply. M****t A*****k
Shuting down your DEI
Missouri
Feedback:
To Whom it may concern (PBS) It has come to my attention that PBS has put out a corporate policy statement that is doing away with its DEI department along with eliminating several positions within this dept. I have always, in my 67 yrs on this planet thought of PBS through its policies, actions and broadcasts on freedom of the press in this country, to be a Beacon of the voice and values that stand for America and honest journalism. I am appalled at this decision to cow down to a dictator’s whim (Donald Trump) to make some US citizens the enemy and burden of our country. And that PBS is on board with this as a corporate policy. I have Always supported PBS and as of late because I’m in a position financially to do so, become a monthly supporting member of PBS. I was also planning on increasing my contributions in the future to help support PBS. But after discovering that PBS has compromised its values, I can No longer share my support for such an Un-American act. I will be retracting my monthly contributions in protest of your vile cowardly decision and will promote and encourage others to do the same. Out of ALL outlets, You are COWARDS in the face of this administration and democracy. There are plenty of other corporations that have stood their ground and not compromised their mission statements and values for the sake of All American people. Shame on you. You are nothing more than a facade of what you claim to be. Before ending this notification, I would like to know if there is a decent person amongst you who could please explain the reason for this cowardly decision and why I should not terminate my contributions and encourage others to do the same ?

Fundraising to become independent from federal govt
Washington
Feedback:
Is there any way that CPB can announce a fundraiser with the goal of raising enough funds to become independent from the federal government and its 'investigations'?
I speak as a long time NPR listener who is desperate for news that has not been diluted to pass through MAGA / Trump filters. I am certain there are enough of us to cover CPB's financial bases if promised a truly independent news source. We are desperate for it and need it.

Dismantling DEI
Texas
Feedback:
You have broken my heart by your recent caving in to the president's demands to curtail DEI activities. I had always thought of CPB as being an independent and non-biased organization. It now appears that a federal administration is making demands to follow its agenda. This starts CPB down a path to becoming a mouthpiece for the government. As a result I will be stopping my monthly contributions.

Feedback:
I’ve woken up the sounds of NPR on the weekend for over 20 years and been a member for almost as long, always appreciating the wide range and quality of the segments. But I find myself turning the station due to the overbearing voice and presence of Ayesha Roscoe. I feel more and more resentful towards NPR that you are imposing her “personality” on my quiet morning where I just want to hear some interesting/entertaining news segments. I end up fixated on how misplaced she is as a radio host, how unserious and unprofessional she comes off when delivering news, how her personality overshadows many moments and her frequent grammatical errors. It’s so obvious and infuriating you placed her in that position to fill some “politically correct” agenda, not for her ability to deliver the news. Please Please PLEASE listen when we say we don’t want to hear her anymore. (Obligatory- She seems like a lovely person just not we’ll suited for the job)

PBS DEI
West Virginia
Feedback:
To Whom it May Concern:
As of this week, with PBS's capitulation to the "rule" of Donald Trump, our family has deleted all access to PBS programing on our cable system. Also, our employers have been informed that NONE of our charitable contributions will be designated to PBS or our local affiliates as long as this situation maintains.
My father and my uncle fought against exactly this kind of fascism during World War II. And my family will continue to fight against the Trumps today. And... we will NOT support corporate COWARDS like PBS has just proven themselves to be.
Goodbye. And God damn you.

Eliminating DEI
Illinois

I cannot believe you caved in on the executive order to eliminate DEI !! I'm 72 years old, a subscriber, and have been watching PBS since I was a child. I thought you would stand up to this ridiculous, dictatorial, punitive edict! I am so disappointed.
Killer whales

Feedback:
It jacks my jaw so much that an organization like yours would sponsor a show called “Killer Whales.” I am a devoted follower of NPR and my local PBS(WHRO.) They are not ‘killer whales,’ they are whale killers and part of the dolphin family.Please put out some type of correction.
DEI Program Elimination
Massachusetts
Feedback:
Dear CPB,
I am HIGHLY disappointed to hear that you are bowing down to the most horrible, hate filled man currenly serving as president! That you are not standing up to this bully and his cronies makes me incredibly sick and heartbroken. As a longtime supporter of CPB (and PBS and NPR) this is a gut punch like no other.
You had an oppertunity to stand up to this awful administration but not letting them bully you into shuttering your DEI office. If you can't stand up to them then how do you expect us to even put any faith (and money) into the work that you all do. This is incredibly disheartening and will cuase my family and I to likely end our run as sustaining members. Something I thought would never happen.
Please do better. Stand up to this horrific administration and re-establish this important office.
Feeling very heartbroken and hopeless,
Shel Frolich-Tscherne
Funding
Feedback:
Have you made plans to offset your loss of federal funding yet? It’s coming and it is well overdue. It is a shame you turned a wonderful product into a swarthy mishmash of progressive claptrap. You do NOT deserve tax dollars to push your warped worldview. I promise you I will spend all my energy to see you are defunded by the federal government. You purposely destroyed the non-biased presentation of the news. Now the tide is coming in and we aren’t going to float your boat.
Good riddance!!
Funding of CPB
Florida
Feedback:
I am reading that Trump and his cronies are targeting CPB and NPR to defund your operations. How are you responding? You need to speak up and justify your operations for all Americans. Or, if you are defunded, you need to start a massive campaign to raise money to keep your stations in business. Thank you.
Note from CPB: Thank you for your comment and for your support of public media. CPB remains committed to educating the public about the value of public media and the many essential services it provides to all Americans. However, as a federally funded organization, CPB is prohibited from engaging in lobbying or advocacy efforts. Efforts related to advocacy are led by other national organizations dedicated to this work.
WAMC biased left leaning talk shows
Connecticut
Feedback:
I've listened to WAMC over the past 10 years. Without doubt, their morning show the "roundtable" can be cited as a prime example of why taxpayers are concerned about CPB's funding of shows with political bias. The format of this weekday morning show is 4 5 liberals discuss how bad republican policies are . Maybe once a month they might have one conservative speaker. I am also sure this isn't the first complaint on WAMC. I would appreciate that someone from CPB take the time and listen to just one show. It runs 9 to 11:30 out of albany NY and can be listened to by going to their website www.wamc.org. Thanks, J**n B***n
Caving to Trump/Musk
Connecticut
Feedback:
Words cannot express how frustrated and angry I am that you've sacrificed your principles and eliminated all diversity training, etc. During pledge drives you're always saying how little the government awards CPB. It would be FAR smarter, as well as patriotic, to kiss that $ goodbye and fundraise based on that decision. The notion that Trump/Musk won't cut that funding anyway is absurd! I have been a generous donor to VPR, WGBH and CT public radio for decades. I am rethinking that giving now. Sincerely, R***n L******t D*******n, CT
