PBS is worth keeping. The demise of the other two would not upset me at all.

Over the last two decades I've heard more original music in between NPR
newscasts than I have heard via any other type of broadcast.

Too many of the NPR affiliates have turned into classical warhorse stations,
and altogether too much of the NPR classical programming coming off the bird
consists of the top 200 classical pieces, over and over again. Tune into
St. Paul Sunday Morning and you'll hear the same thing you heard the night
before from the Chicago Symphony. You will never hear George Antheil or
Xenakos on the national programs, but for that matter you won't hear C.P.E.
Bach much either.

What makes up for this is some of the fine local programming, and it's in
almost all markets large and small. Yes, there are folks on local stations
who play Janacek operas still. As long as this is the case, I'll keep
sending them a donation.

I could listen to Georges Collinais all day long, though.
