Funding Radio & Television

Missouri
Feedback:

I am a retired Public radio engineer. I am retired from two Universities. I worked at the radio stations for over two decades. At the second Radio station our transmitter was co-located at the PBS transmitter. So for over ten years I had the opportunity to observe the transmitter sites of both an NPR and PBS stations. In the time I was there, the television station replaced their transmitter 3 times. While that was going on there was no money for replacing my 30 year old transmitter. Maybe I am that much a better engineer than theirs were. Well, I must admit that during that time the change from NTSC to ATSC occurred. That change should have been funded outside of the regular equipment replacement funding. My point is that television is funded far in excess of what radio needs. A radio station should not be required to keep repairing a 20 to 30 year old transmitter when the television station is over-funded that they can replace theirs twice. I AM erring on the conservative side in saying that they replaced their transmitter twice during that period.

I am an engineer. I therefore not a writer. I tend to be terse. I am not a persuasive writer or speaker. I must insist that you take my statements and observations as real and more critical than I am stating here.

Politics Monday

Massachusetts
Feedback:
I used to watch the News Hour on Mondays and Fridays specifically because I liked the commentary. I miss Politics Monday! Now I’m down to Friday alone. Additionally, reporting seems “fluffier”, e.g., no mention yesterday of sending tanks to Ukraine.

National Public Radio Audit

Hawaii
Feedback:
When was the last time you audited National Public Radio for balance and objectivity? Is the audit public? NPR stopped trying to show the both sides of any issue in 2016; I assumed balance and objectivity would return after Trump left office, but the progressive/liberal slant on all stories continues. I was a big fan and generous supporter of NPR prior to 2017. No longer.

This is the third time I have asked this question: why was Politics Monday (evidently) dropped from the PBS NewsHour, and why was nothing whatsoever said about it?

We have noticed Politics Monday has been absent since the beginning of 2023. Will this be permanent? We miss this segment and hope it will return.

I think Jeff and Amna are doing a great job. But where is Politics Monday with Amy Walters and Tamara Keith? A bunch of us are hoping they have just been on a 2 week hiatus. We've missed them! their comments are always a favorite way to start the week.

Israeli-Palestinian conflict

Florida
Feedback:
I have watched the News hour with Judy Woodruff for many years. I am appalled and surprised by the lack of coverage on what is currently happening in Israel/Palestine. The UN Security Council is preparing to hold an emergency meeting to discuss the recent visit by Israel’s new national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, to the Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied East Jerusalem. His visit was condemned across the Middle East. Ben-Gvir’s actions could lead to more conflict. Jordan’s Foreign Ministry decrying it as “scandalous and [an] unacceptable violation of international law.” Al-Aqsa Mosque is one of the holiest sites in Islam and Judaism. Why isn't this important story being reported in the News Hour?

Why give to a know dangerous individual who has shown that his intent is to influence large numbers of people for his personal gain. Does a man who loves his country not pay taxes?

Constant audio drop-out

Ohio
Feedback:

What is the issue behind episodic loss of audio during your programming. For example PBS NewsHour tonight, Jan 20, 2023 was full of loss of audio for 10 to 30 seconds over and over again during the program. The same issue is plaguing my car PBS radio station, 89.7 FM today. It is frustrating. There appears to be no recognition by your station at any time during the programming. Is this situation going to be the new normal? My cable provider is Spectrum. Thanks, Richard R. H**m, XXX B******g Avenue, Akron, OH 44310.
