HELP PLEASE!!!! For the last two weeks my excellent signal reception (dish roof antenna) has suddenly become constant terrible and impossible to watch: "fail to receive" "no broadcast at this time" distorted pics, lines, dots, scattered sound bites. What is going on??? Problems at SUTRO broadcasting again? FYI-- channel 4 is constant "fail" and channel 65 is responding same as 9 only worse. Tonight July 3 I'm getting a solid fail for the last hour since 8:30pm.

Starting two weeks ago the local Foothills Amateur Radio Society was/is preparing for the Annual Amateur Radio Field Day. (Since over ten years ago, a close by ham operator using an extra strong signal was the source of our TV interference, I've tried to follow up through their organization but have no response yet.)

Hello there. I would like to suggest that you start having people with television sets pay a compulsory monthly TV License fee. The reason why I'm suggesting this is because PBS and NPR have not been receiving that much funding lately, and only 15% of all PBS funding comes from the U.S. government. That's where my idea comes in. Many countries have been using this system of funding for their public broadcasters for quite some time. Here's how it works: Everyone who owns a TV set with an antenna hooked up to it or watches TV online using the Internet has to pay this fee. People will have a bill sent to them every month. Then the money goes to you, then you send it to PBS and NPR. However, there will be discounted costs for seniors, people with disabilities, and people close to or below the poverty line. I think this would be a great idea.

Sincerely,

I concur with another comment 11/21 about Ms Anwaz. She is a miserable host of Newshour. She is opinionated and clippy! Next to Geoff Bennett, she is short on smarts and presentations. She reminds me of the former host(ess) of Washington Week. These shows are suppose to be educational, not showy...both women interrupt and Anwaz is curt...I don't watch when she is on screen.

I had listened to every episode of Weekend Edition Sunday for decades, with great pleasure. But since Ayesha Rascoe became the host I am no longer able to do so. My Sundays have been significantly diminished as a result. The main reason is her voice. It is so grating that I find it difficult to believe she was chosen as the voice of a major news platform for NPR. In addition to the fingernails on a blackboard quality of her voice, she sometimes drops her 'g's, and often slightly slurs, seemingly in too much of a hurry. She is an excellent journalist and interviewer, but she does not have a voice for radio. I say that having been a broadcast journalist for almost 25 years.

Mrs. Amanpour with professor Snyder from Yale are totally biased and Blind, bought out to left . CNN comments by Trump stated by Amanpour and professor are warted comments. This program and PBS are totally bought out and are blind. Other PBS programs that are straight reporting that are not political are very informative but other programs are pro dictatorship pro control of society deceived by lies.

Why do your radio people whisper like grade school girls? How does this channel survive considering the ridiculous topics & and constant talk of racism and sexuality. What a farce !

Why are you risking your reputation( and thinking audience) by broadcasting programs like Dr. Steve Gundry. Fact checking and verifying "science" ads like his would lead anyone with a computer to find out that he is simply selling and his claims are without scientific merit. This makes me wonder about CPB ethics. I certainly won't consider donating anytime soon due to lack of trust.

I was appalled last week by your disregard of the UN appeal for dramatic action on the climate emergency within the next five years. The BBC and DW news broadcasts gave one third of their news time to this crisis. Are you afraid your corporate donors will withdraw their funding? Are you afraid you’ll scare your audience? They SHOULD be afraid and they need to act NOW. And why are stock market numbers more important than the amount of carbon our atmosphere?

This show is such blatant propaganda it makes me sick to see it painted as pure fact. Gunny Thomas is referred to as always having been on the "far right". Just because someone stands for conservative principles doesn't equate them to skinheads. This continuous narrative to make any and all conservatives out to be racist caricatures vastly over simplifies the problems of this country and only helps to contribute further to its spiral downwards. You people at PBS are helping to flush the foundations of western culture down the toilet of emotional knee jerk responses.
