Coming to PBS in February

[Behind the Aegis]

I am going to give times but they are for CST and Oklahoma (check with your local PBS station). The synopses are shorter versions taken directly from the OETA PBS letter I get monthly (as a proud supporter of PBS). Keep in mind these will likely show up on the PBS app if you have a smart TV and are subscribed to PBS.

4. Please don't go there.

PBS will be on. It will just be privately funded, and it will get tugged in certain directions depending on its donors. PBS is already heavily subsidized by private donors.
