To me it seemed more like they took a pledge break semi-annually. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: PBS Posted Jun 13, 1999 by John the gardener says, "Free Tibet!"

The pledge breaks and so on are necessary evils due to government funding cuts. PBS is still a class act.

I find them damned annoying, particularly when they interupt a program in progress. You have to sit and wait, because you have no idea when they wil return to the show.

I can't particularly think of a better explination what I meant at the moment. Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: PBS Posted Jun 13, 1999 by John the gardener says, "Free Tibet!"

You never see James Bond or Steve McGarritt from Hawaii Five-Oh whip a gun out of their WGBH tote-bag to return fire on, y'know, Dr. No, or Polynesian Mafia hit-men.

I've been waiting nearly fifteen years for my Dr. Who mug. I did get to see James Burke ("Connections") in Toronto, courtesy of WNED Buffalo.

I think Signals is associated with Public Radio and there is another associated with TV but the name slips my mind. (And they deliver in under 15 years) Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: PBS Posted Jun 16, 1999 by Koenig This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 17 KETC in St. Louis also has or is associated with the Store of Knowledge, where one can buy all that kind of stuff.

Have their sponsors, such as the number 8 and the letter I not been paying up all these years.

And one you may very well ask. Could be that people are remiss in paying royalties to the number "_" and the letter "_". Conversation list Conversation list
