janshot did the math
Cancel Paramount+, donate the $60/year to PBS!
$535 million is the 2025 PBS appropriation from Congress. Paramount+ claims 79 million subscribers at $60/year.
If 9 million people cancel their subscriptions and donate to PBS, we could make up the $$$ and make a point to CBS/Paramount!!!
9 million $60/year subscriptions is 540 million
20 million $60/yr subscriptions is 1.2 billion, think of what PBS could do with that.
CANCEL NOW & donate!

They cut deals with phone and cable companies, so their memberships are free.

I would make it a point to not miss that every week. I watch a lot of PBS, even now n get more from it than I give. Great idea to help keep it alive

Or does it go to Trump's Govt to divert and use as he sees fit?

Donating to PBS and NPR is money well spent and much less expensive than cable.
