Goodbye, Public Television

[Smurfette Principle]

In New Hampshire, at least.

For those of you not in New Hampshire, NHPTV is the only public television station in New Hampshire. It's essentially WGBH (the Boston branch of PBS) with some New Hampshire exclusive shows. These shows are being cut.

On the one hand, I'm not all that affected by it, because we don't have TV anymore, but on the other hand... damn it, I grew up with that channel. I was on that channel. And now it's gone.

These people make the ghost of Mr. Rogers cry.

Doesn't your cable provide carry more than one PBS?

[Smurfette Principle]

1. We don't have television anymore. Before that, we had WBGH as well, but the programming had NH-only programs, like NH Outlook and Granite State Challenge.
2. It's the principle of the thing. They're still getting rid of the only NH branch of PBS.
