I have been warning of this for months now
Now going on 15 days without PBS, Kids Create, FNX, and World
It is more than just a 'technical difficulty'
I appreciate those who stood to correct me that PBS, NBC, FOX and CBS
don't broadcast, their affiliates do, if their affiliates don't have the funding
to run their transmitters these over-the-air (free-TV) channels disappear
Now Coibert is cancelled, who will be next? Kimmel? Fallon?
We will soon be left with nothing but FOXNEWS and Sinclair!
