I'm extremely upset that the one TV station I watch, largely because of its affiliation with PBS, is severing this affiliation. I'm a longtime member of KCET and regular donor. Before making this decision, I think KCET owed it to loyal subscribers to lay it all out on the table: "Hey, we need x dollars to remain affiliated with PBS." I 'll give KCET a chance, but I suspect I'll switch my loyalty to KOCE, along with my donations.

The San Francisco public station will be the PBS affiliate on the Central Coast. It will now be "our station". There was much about KCET to like, and a fair amount to dislike, not least the arrogance on display come "pledge drive" time and during the recent "hype" by the general manager. How KCET without its PBS backbone is going to be the promised brilliant new experience beggars the imagination. It will be interesting to see how you do "on your own". Good luck. You'll need it...

Jackie, thanks for the comment. This thread mirrors an existing conversation which can be found here KCET and PBS so I am consolidating them into one thread. Leave any additional comments there.
