Your Feedback

We’ve been PBS fans since childhood & members in adulthood. Thank you for the outstanding work that you do. As a “Boomer” born in 1957, I’m really appreciating the fitness programs. Due to so many factors, PBS may be ultimate source for 24/7 fitness example & how-to programming to teach & encourage people of all ages to participate in daily fitness throughout their lives. Many viewers are home bound & lessons of COVID & public health issues is sufficient reason to have an additional programming devoted to all age groups. Thanks again & please consider. Public healthcare/fitness along with education is woefully inadequate for all people in USA.

I just have to tell you that I turn off NPR everytime Atesha Roscoe is on. She DOES NOT have a radio voice. It amazes me that she was a white house correspondent! Her voice is annoying, too forced, and her delivery sophomoric. And it not because she's black- she's just average. Not good enough for a national news anchor. Please, get someone who can speak

I have been watching Washington Week in Review since the early 1970s when Paul Duke was the moderator. He had great panelists on, such as David Broder and Peter Lisador. Whatever their personal views, they would try to give honesty analyses about the political news and would sometimes differ among themselves. It was must-see TV. When Paul Duke left, he was replaced by Ken Bode, who carried on in the Paul Duke tradition. When PBS wanted Bode to bring more “edge” to the show, he refused and was then fired. Gwen Ifill brought an “edge” to the show, now renamed as Washington Week. She hated Republicans and made no effort to conceal this. She was then replaced by Robert Costa. Costa would begin each show by breathlessly announcing new breakthroughs in the Russian collusion case. After the Mueller report came out, Costa refused to apologize to the audience, even though it was the minimum he needed to do to restore his reputation. Robert Costa is no longer at Washington Week or the Washington Post, for that matter. Costa was then replaced by Yamiche Alcindor, who sees virtually every issue in terms of race. She has only panelists on the show who agree with her. Washington Week has become a propaganda show.

Many people comment here about PBS programming and you invariably tell them to contact PBS directly. However, comments to PBS are not listed on their website, so readers/listeners have no idea if others have the same issues with their programming. This is a huge disincentive for people to provide intelligent feedback, as they do on the NYTimes website. Given the fact that CPB has considerable influence on PBS, it seems disingenuous for you to tell people to send their comments to an organization that does not publish comments.

You are promoting distortion of history.

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.

I would like to make positive and supportive comments to Judy Woodruff for her series that is now airing in Boise Idaho about what America is so polarized politically. Can you tell me how to sent here an email? Thank you

All the other cooking shows are on. But the Great BRITISH BAKING SHOW.? that's the best and most current program. I dont watch kvie cooking show any more

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.
