Having parents that worked a lot of hours, television played a large part in keeping us occupied. In 4th and 5th grade, I would let myself in from school, fix a snack and watch my shows until my Mom or Dad came home. Back then, PBS was the most watched channel in our household.
With programming that included Shining Time Station, Ghostwriter, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego and Square One, PBS offered hours of educational and entertaining parental approved television. People like Bob Villa, Julia Childs, Bob Ross and Mister Rogers became part of our family.
I’m shocked to find out about the House of Representatives passing a bill that eliminates funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a non-profit organization that financially supports both PBS and NPR. The Senate is now working on their version of the bill. Without this funding, many public radio and television stations across the country will be forced to go off the air.
