I'm also in NY State. I'm also a member of the local PBS station as well as my local public radio station. Both are non-profits and supported by members who pay annual membership fees. No money comes from advertising, a little comes from "underwriting" or corporate sponsorship and a very small percentage comes from public funds. The primary source of funding is from members who respond to what you call "whining and carrying on." I'm not sure what you mean that you "don't expect to see that here." However, I can tell you what to expect without fundraising efforts by public broadcasting stations: Reruns of "Three's Company," professional wrestling and other brain-numbing sitcoms with frequent interruptions with beer ads, "Ask your Doctor if DrugX is right for you" ads and other noxious ads ad nauseum. You could call in a pledge and perhaps help end the fund drive early. Or you can whine and carry on about not getting something for nothing. Wayne
