That's something you and I have in common. I used to like certain shows too until they became woke. Jeopardy & The Price Is Right, for examples. I used to listen to mainstream heavy metal too, until the birth of wokeism ruined it for me.

They should live up to their name and literally open the broadcasting to the public. I'd like to say a few things on it. I bet that after you, me, joe, and greg pass the mic around a few times, people would start to appreciate PBS once again.

Surely some "good samaritan" like the Soros Foundation will pick up the tab.
