Pleding has been going on for weeks now, as in three going on four in my area, and I'm just about fed up. Missing the few programs I've been loyal to, but really sick of them bringing certain programs into their programming just to get the bucks.
If pledging returns next week, that's it for me. My relationship with PBS ends.

I am assuming your thread is about "pledging" and not "pleding", anyhow, I did hear that Gvt. funds were cut for Public Television and I guess they've got to get their money from somewhere!

I don't about nationally, but locally it seems to end just in time to start again. I think they spend more of the year in fundraising than programming.

That's my complaint and why I don't watch it unless I DVR it and FF over all of the talking and begging.

I know you are right Kathy and even as I was typing it I realized that. I just change the channel or I DVR the program.
I'm glad there are people who donate to this channel. I just DVR and FF over it.

Yes, I misspelled "pledging." And, yes, I would prefer commercials, since we can no longer afford DVR device and service, nor can we afford the DVDs to record, being retired and on a fixed income.

I watched the CNN show about "Jesus" and I am not kidding, there was a commercial every 10 minutes! 10 minutes!I almost lost it but I think Jesus gave me the patience, LOL. The pledge breaks annoy me because they show some things that are so old-oldies but goodies, but still. I wish they'd show them other times, commercial free. Also, what are those names in the beginning of, say, Masterpiece Theater, that say,'this program was made possible by such and such foundation', people who had millions, well, isn't that enough? I don't know, I just wonder where the money goes. Just don't ever take these stations away. Please.
