Current’s coverage of PBS’s announcement that it will begin an experiment this fall to insert local and national promo breaks into two shows has prompted a pro/con survey at Huffington Post. As of 2:10 p.m. Monday (May 23), “I hate it” has 72 percent of the votes, with “Whatever” claiming 28 percent.
I guess someone in PBS’ General; Counsel office forgot about the Federal law that PBS programs under 60 minutes cannot be interupted for “non-program” material.
Of course, PBS has long forgotten about the Federal law requiring programs to present balance.
