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.

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.

why did you drop Amy Walter's and Tamara Keith's segment Poltics Monday from the Newshour?

Nothing but a trump bashing show. Very biased. But it doesn't matter because I'm sure you have low viewership.. I just watch it cuz I love sht shows. LOL

Hi, I am submitting you a ticket to renew Elinor Wonders Why for a season 2. In the new season, Elinor and her friends continue exploring and visit new friends from around the world and from a different town. If you renew the series for a second season, I will get back to you.

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 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?

Enjoy many programs on PBS. Today I was watching and again, in between shows you were promoting the Global Weirding series. Now I admit that I have not seen an actual episode, but I imagine many viewers do not watch the series but see the “ads” in between other shows. These ads promote a single, decidedly left leaning view and I would suggest you provide other views that present the fact that there are indeed two sides to the issue.

The MacNeil-Lehrer Report was a shiny city on the hill of the TV news wasteland. They would devote each show to a single topic, with opposing advocates being interviewed together. Robert MacNeil and Jim Lehrer did not tell us what to think. They trusted the viewers to listen to both sides of the issue and make up their own minds.

When Judy Woodruff took over the show, renamed as the PBS NewsHour, she destroyed the show. On virtually every issue, only one side is presented, the left-wing side. For the Friday weekly roundtable, they hired fake-conservative Jonathan Capehart as the counterpart to liberal David Brooks. Instead of offering conservative rebuttals to Brooks, Capehart seems to always agree with Brooks.
