I get it that you can't charge stations like WKAR even more for your programming.
Maybe it helps you get by,but couldn't you at least be honest about it? Like maybe donations were $100 million to keep reporters all over hte world all the time and donations have fallen to $80 million since COVID, but couldn't you tell us just how bad it is and what you'd have to let go if you don't get the $20 million that you need? And I don't need to hear from Depak Chopra and some guy who does brain research mainly to suck money out of me to buy their products. I like Finding your Roots, but I don't need a summary of what Henry Louis Gates has already provided and I've seen.ĭo you think I have the power to give you some kind of award for providing these documentaries? I don't. Now i can't see a 60 minutes episode and for the same reason, you actually interrupt PBS News Hour for the same old, same old tune. I'm on a fixed income during a time of high inflation. I'm a green donor to my local station, WKAR in Lansing pre-empts some of some of my favorite shows, like 60 minutes in favor of ways for you to nag viewers to donate. Have I been asleep at the switchor are you increasing the number of fundraisers you incorporate into programming? In any case, I resent it.
