Promos for PBS between programs
I am convinced I would send my local PBS station a membership donation if PBS would consider stopping those endlessly run PBS promos that must target fifteen year olds. They are loud, jarring, puerile in content and driven by the most obnoxious musical accompaniment. PBS broadcasts such great programs, only to diminish the viewing experience by forcing viewers to repeatedly watch these moronic promos. It makes no sense, unless your prime audience consists of hysterical adolescents. And your between program promos on Create? Have any of them been changed in twenty years? All those grape tomatoes? Brazil 66? Please help!
Who will advocate for access?
I just wanted to draw awareness to the fact that Public Broadcasting is no longer accessible to every American. I'm not a technician but I know that even with post-digital conversion TV sets, ordinary consumer antennas are no longer sufficient to receive public broadcast channels. As it stands now, one is required to have expensive outdoor antennas if they wish to receive these channels "over the air". Needless to say, this isn't accessible to ALL Americans, especially low income families or renters. This wasn't an issue before the conversion. There are paid "passport" programs with each individual member stations but even that doesn't allow people to receive live broadcasts. I am aware that this issue falls on the FCC and individual stations, but there should be advocates who will protect the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. It seems like this has fallen through the cracks.
Nova Universe Revealed
Too many narrators interrupting story line along with too much background music interrupting the narrators. PBS (Diversities child) what a scientific fiasco.
Sunday edition announcer
After listening to npr for forty years I am leaving you. The new announcer on Sunday mornings has a horrible, “screeching” voice, especially when she is the least bit emotional. I’ve tried to get used to it for over a month now, but I can’t. I understand npr has a problem with hiring diverse employees that mirror our very diverse general populations, but must it be someone whose voice is incredibly irritating? Surely you can do better…
Hearings covered on ABC NEWS 6/21/2022
While watching National News w/David Muir last night on local ABC station out of OKC, while people were talking (Shay and her Mom from GA), Pro Trump chants were super imposed over their voices with Stop The Steal and other pro trump yelling. Sounded like rioters had entered the building yelling. Went on entire time of Jonathon Carls reporting. This was 5:30 pm ABC KFOR news, watching in Mustang, OK. Was no one else disturbed over this?!?!?!
Finding Your Roots
I watch this program every week and have noticed that it seems to focus heavily on African Americans, much more than the percentage of the US population that they represent. Yet, Irish Americans, a big immigrant group, seems to be under reported. It would seem that the show should focus more on representing different ethnic groups, based on their percent of the US population. That would be a fair benchmark. That way, no group would be over exposed at the expense of another important group.
non-believers forced to support religious broadcasting
I am an agnostic, but I am forced to support religious broadcasting in my cable TV package. This is flat-out unconstitutional!
Abortion
I hope you will give this comment to Judy ,she will retire in the End of 2022. I wish you make public this fair Question.Abortion is in most cases more than survival for Woman. Rape ,Incest ,young woman not knowing the Consequences......If there mostly man I believe take the Right away from all this woman and believe abortion should not take place to help this Woman ....I respect their OPINION. BUT.....Then all this Man or Persons should pay for the cost raising this not yet born (unwanted Children, life tread to this mothers.) Furthermore help with this Children as soon as they are born. I know this Man or Priest are all TALK, but non of this people feel responsible. A shame that this people create so much Misery for mostly helpless Woman...and force to became Criminals by some states LAW. All Person make this Laws and and preachers should protect this woman but none will ever help, except they have a Family Member get Mention Problems. I wonder If PBS will ask people to see how wrong this Pros are.I hope you are for PEOPLE as you claim.
Amna Nawaz
I am a 30 plus year supporter of PBS and I must say I have become extremely frustrated with Amna Nawaz in specific and the News Hour in general. Ms Nawaz frequently presents extremely liberal biased, moralizing and accusatory pieces with only one interviewee that supports her narrative. PBS now often fails to analyze issues anymore by discussing both sides of a complex and difficult issues like illegal immigration or crime control and instead presents a one sided diatribe against "conservative" actors on the other side of an issue. The news hour has shifted away from the unique and balanced reporting that investigates both sides of an issue and is increasingly coming across as an advocate for specific courses of political action or political solutions. Whereas CPB was always my go to news source to understand what was driving different groups to do what they do, now I view it as an increasingly liberal mouthpiece primarily promoting a liberal agenda. I am fairly liberal but I am more interested in hearing what goes on in the heads of people on the other side of the fence. I have cut back my donations to PBS as I no longer feel like it is an impartial news reporting agency.

Pls take Leila Fadell off the air at times when she has a sizable audience. I dunno if you listen to her speak: she doesn’t speak SAE; she speaks “babytalk”. She goes on air, I turn off npr. A**y N****n
Weekend edition Sunday
Big fan of NPR. Longtime listener. But can no longer listen to Sunday morning show. Ayesha Rascoe's voice is hard to listen to. Annoying. Thanks.
Biased Programming
I read your "CANNED RESPONSE" to anyone commenting on your "progressive/ultra liberal" programming bias. Your programming goes out nation wide, trying to lay this bias at the feet of "local stations" is BS. You receive hundreds of millions in taxpayer funds. We deserve balance reporting and programming (opinion shows, like PBS News Hour.) Seems to me you've sidestepped the 1967 Federal Law requiring your annual report verifying the balanced presentations funded by those taxpayer funds.
