For the past two evenings the audio on my Newshour livestream has cut in and out as the program progresses. I have tried rebooting my computer and viewing directly from YouTube to no avail. I love your news program and don't want to miss any of it. Are other viewers reporting a similar problem? (I live in the greater Boston area; my local station is WGBH)
Thank you, Sara Jacobson
Sent to PBS: CPB is a private, nonprofit corporation created by Congress in the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. PBS I understand you are independent of the CPB,however I am shocked that you have someone so one sided in their comments and opinions as Mark Shields that appears on the PBS NEWS HOUR.I am independent and try diligently to find “just news”.This guy has so much hate for Trump that it seems to spew out of him.My gosh give someone else a chance and let him join MSNBC or CNN where you at least know what you are getting.Please-get him off of there so I can have some real news and do justice with your CPB dollars. Thank You, Bobby Brown 336 201 2009 877 Brookleigh Ct Winston-Salem,N.C.27104
September 22 2019. Hello, over a number of days now I have noticed the audio cutting in and out frequently on online playback of PBS NewsHour episodes. Both on YouTube and on the PBS website. Help! I am missing my favorite program. Thanks, Lauren
You guys are better than this! It should not take 30 minutes to fix a stuck record.
Newshour has become un-watchable due to its bias and the slurs of our President.
Hello. Thank you so much for having Sit and be Fit on television. I really appreciate the show. I watch it every day and work out to the program. Thank you again!
My name is xx, and I live in Washington, DC. I was watching Judy Woodruff regarding her segment with Mr. Cucinnelli about immigration for children born of American parents outside of the country. I was shocked and offended for the content and her position on this, not letting Mr. Cucinnelli verify and explain this new legislation. I am this person that she defined as being helpless and unable to come to this country to participate, that would need handouts at every single corner. I was so disgusting because every point that he countered for her, she didn't want to hear. I was born in Canada. My parents were Americans working outside of the US. Never, at any time, did myself or my siblings expect handouts, welfare, be given this opportunity to come to this country and loathe. We were so honored to come to this country, participate in this economy, and pursue our goals and dreams. I am disgusted by Judy Woodruff.

A week ago I sat to watch an episode of Finding Your Roots -- which I had recorded a few days earlier on KPBS in San Diego. Instead I was watching the 1st half of an American Experience documentary on Woodstock. It was fascinating, but I only got to see the 1st half, since it was supposed to be a 1-hour show. I contacted the station to see when it would be re-broadcast, and they said it would not be! (And why didn't they show it this past week, which was the 50th anniversary of this legendary festival? They gave no answer.) This has happened dozens and dozens of times -- the Cox cable guide says one thing, but they show something else. We get 500 channels on our cable system, and 499 of them adhere to their schedule once they release it to the cable companies and the media. Why can't KPBS? It is so frustrating!!! I've complained to them via e-mail and phone calls many times, but they persist!
They said I should check their web-site, but this entails leaving the sofa, going to the back room, waiting three minutes while the computer boots up, Googling their web-site, navigating it to find the schedule, and then running back to the living room – hoping I won’t forget the programming information. Why can’t they just provide the cable company with an accurate schedule, and then stick to it?
Is this typical of PBS stations around the country, or is KPBS terribly mismanaged? We have supported them with our membership in the past, but now perhaps we will start sending our donations to the stations who generate such excellent programming. Can you help us?
Hi, I’m calling regarding the administration of WAMC in Albany. I’ve never really encountered anything like WAMC. This morning, there was an interview by a man by the name of Chartock, who I believe is CEO and President of the station. He referred to President Trump as a nightmare in an aside during an aside during an interview with some dance official. It was not even germane as far as I can tell. This is some kind of throwaway line constantly operating the station as. It's quite incredible. There are roundtables every day. Roundtables, to me, usually means there are different perspectives. There are no different perspectives on these roundtables. They’re all the same. There’s just towing the line, which I would say is progressive, not even mainstream Democratic, but really Progressive. Now the community, is a very liberal one, so I’m sure that not too many people will mind. I don’t understand how the government is supporting this kind of enterprise. I can’t imagine how this could be conceived as any kind of balanced programming. I really think somebody ought to look into before the newspaper or some other electronic journalist gets into it.
I want to comment on Yamiche Alcindor, who I understand is the White House Reporter for the PBS Newshour. I think she is usually among the press corps questioning Trump. I think he stuck the “fake news” tag on her when she’s questioning him. What I would say is, I don’t think she has to go back and forth to say that he tells lies and that he is a liar. I think what she could do is say, “no sir, that is not true” when he says that she is fake news. I think that’s what the reporters should do when he says the reporters are “fake news” and just leave it at that. Instead of making any attacks on his veracity. If he’s attacking a reporter's character without warrant, then they have every right to yell that out.
On a recent episode of your NewsHour, David Brooks, your phony baloney faux conservative claimed that the census question had never been asked. That was a blatant lie and Amna Nawaz knew it was a lie. You twice lied. PBS is not public television. You are progressive left-wing television. There is no one on PBS that represents the 63 million people that voted for Donald Trump. Instead, you regard us as irredeemable and deplorable. You are the deplorable, the scum of the earth. You have no intellectual or moral integrity. I would say that David Brooks lied on that occasion and Am knew it was a lie. You’re just left-wing hacks.
I just wanted to mention how very sad it is that people can’t get public broadcasting stations over the air unless they live certain areas. I have an excellent attenta and I can always get Fox but I can only get WTTW when you’re having a fundraiser event. Other than that, I don’t. As a taxpayer, although I’m working poor so I don’t pay a lot towards you, I think its really sad that there is no effort made to ensure that the working poor who need this type of television programming are considered. That’s my comment, very sad. I miss watching many, many programs, but I’m poor so you don’t care.
Hello this is a regular viewer, I was watching today, Monday, June 24th evening news with Judy Woodruff interviewing Paul Ryan. He really slid by her at the most crucial applauded question that she asked about our President being a model for children. He slid by her without her pressing him kindly for a true response instead of confusing her. Thank you.
Hi I’ve been PBS watcher and subscriber for over thirty years. Recently, We’ve noticed that our WAMC Albany has chosen to display a large, white, dense logo almost in the middle of the screen on all of the programs. It is so annoying and so districting that we have stopped watching. We’ve called them and we have written to them and they have not responded. We hoped that you might be able to express this to them. When did the logo of the station become more important than the programming? Other stations have a very small, very faint logo at the bottom of the screen. I was hoping that you would call.
Should PDS and NPR host the presidential debates including the individual party debate? It seems that would fit with the charter of CPB.
Hi my name is … I have a concern about the new premier of the cartoon Arthur that is going to view this fall. I’m concerned with same-sex marriage. I would certainly like to complain about that and urge you not to do that.
Why is the sound quality on the pbs news hour consistently poor?
Hi this is .. I am a mother and a grandmother, and I am absolutely appalled that the cartoon character Arthur is having a same-sex marriage on their programming for the premier this season. It is awful. I will not support public broadcasting if you are going to put this kind of stuff on. I am asking all of my friends with young children not to watch this show
