This is the future for a lot of people.

As a kid, I would always turn the antenna away from Montreal where my parents kept it and fine-tune it towards the Vermont transmitter to listen to PBS shows.” • Unknown % Went to Local Stations • 16k Went to PBS Donation Page -- 77% Exited -- 13% Went to Local Station Site -- 10% Other Areas of PBS “I bet if Reddit got a big enough check together (say $10,000+), and donated it to a specific show on PBS, that show would TOTALLY give a shout out. “
