Amna Nawaz on PBS October 24
Ms. Nawaz could not control her comments when talking with the gentleman at PBS. Never seen such a PBS comment.

Amna Nawaz
Please, please remove her from the nightly broadcast. I am hanging in there, but I am close to no longer watching. She reads her cue cards like a freshman in High School. And the constant earnest sadness in her eyes is so glaringly inappropriate! Judy Woodruff was the best. Note: All the other present-day announcers are fantastic! Please, please move her off the top slot, otherwise you risk losing more and more watchers. A*****y S******l

Horrible grating voice. Can't stand it.
Washington Week, Host-Jeffery Goldberg
Please, enough of Jeffery Goldberg of The Host of Washington Week. This fellow comes across completely unprepared each week to function as the host. When I watch Washington Week each week I want to hear in depth analysis of the goings on in our national’s Capitol, not friendly chit chat in any way with the guests each week. Also, toward the end of the show of October 27, Mr. Goldberg made a big production of the last question he was going to ask his guests, only in the end to ask his guests if they thought it was a sure thing that Mr. Trump would be The GOP candidate for President in 2024? Excuse me, but where has been Mr. Goldberg been? Presently, is there another Presidential Republican candidate anywhere close to Mr. Trump in the polls? NO! Please PBS, show your viewers some respect by replacing Mr. Goldberg as the host of Washington Week, with someone who can do that function with the proper preparedness, pose, and intelligence that should be a prerequisite to have, to be The Host of Washington Week. Thank you. E**a B******d

These two wonderful programs of Wednesday, Oct. 18, 2023 on WVPT were uselessly ruined by very frequent losses of sound during the entire 2 programs. Please let me know who to notify when broadcasts of such WVPT programs need to be corrected ASAP. Thank you. Emily Branscome, Staunton, VA 24401
PBS News Hour Jonathan Capehart
Retitle Brooks and Capehart to Capehart and Capehart and Capehart. He talks toooo much and the hosts let him go on and on. He isn’t even interesting. I know what he’s going to say in his rants. Brooks is much more interesting, thoughtful and I’m eager to know what he will say. Too bad the hosts don’t let him talk more.
Lawrence Welk
My father loves Lawrence Welk. He watches the reruns faithfully, it's the highlight of his week. He is 96 yrs. old. He doesn't like the new format. There is more talking from stars of the show and less music and singing. Any chance of changing the format back?

Washington Week with the Atlantic
To Sharon Rockefeller: could you please replace permanently Jefferey Goldberg from Washington Week. He is not appropriate fro this wonderful show that I have enjoyed for years. He is not a tv journalist. He seems self absorbed, and not able to let people speak long enough. The show seems like an infomercial for his friends and colleagues books. He holds up a book. Congratulates them, says strange things, like “and that’s all I will say about it”, then goes on to make reference to something in the book and make it a talking point. I believe on that show, at the end, he turned to the two women and said, I am paraphrasing, If you write a book, I will hold it up like this also. Apparently there are some very reputable writers who are women who have noted that he doesn’t really think women can write books or articles with many words. The last week with one panelist, Steve Inskeep, they seemed to have their own little time of laughter between them, like an old bos club, the new old boys club. He, I understand is very accomplished in many ways, including his editor in chief role at the Atlantic. I’ve enjoyed many articles there. Of course PBS is going through difficult times, but you don’t need him as editorial guidance or in this role on Washington Week. I have lost my Friday evening calm and sensible view and opinions show, with good panelists. I can’t imagine many people who have been in that role before wanting to be a part of this. Obviously finances were a concern, then talks with the Atlantic, then he is there clumsily and sometimes egotistically trying to be a moderator. Bring back Laura, or many other PBS suitable candidates. Let him keep his day job and talk with his Washington cronies about “existential ennui”. Please. Or I will and many others will have lost a little more of our no nonsense, well researched and down to earth news and opinion time at the end of the weeks which have been so difficult in recent times. I may not even be writing in the right place. I am one of the intelligent, but simple folks. Please see that someone who is in charge can help us and PBS. This is not the way to do it. I am sorry. I don’t like to be unkind. It is just such a bad fit. I know you must see it.
