Somebody Get Al Franken on the Phone, Stat!
Looks like warmed-over Bolshevism does not a good media company business model make.
Here's my 3-point plan to help PBS come back:
1. Refuse all government funding.
2. Spin off Children's Television Workshop into its own autonomous division, something like The History Channel is to A & E. It's a cash cow that should stand on its own two feet.
3. Sell PBS timeslots to any and all buyers, with the exception of pornography. This will make it truly "public"---an open forum for documentarians and talkers on a wider range of issues than anything out there today aside from the blogosphere.
