Its permanent. WMTJ is no longer on the air and there's no PBS in Puerto Rico right now. American Samoa, U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam all have PBS right now, but not Puerto Rico.

Cheryl Scott is on for Phil tonight. Mark Mcginnis was on for Larry this morning. For the past few months. Larry hasn't worked that many weekends. I think he has worked about 3 or 4 weekends since the Solar Eclipse.

God Bless those vintage Texas Newscasts! Thanks Jim!

Lauren Jiggetts and Ana Belaval for the Saturday morning news today.

It's been silent since May 2016. There are not going to be many opportunities to resurrect it. ——— And speaking of silent, Puerto Rico's PBS member station could be a permanent casualty of Hurricane María. Sistema TV (WMTJ San Juan + WQTO Ponce), owned by the Sistema Universitario Ana G. Méndez, will be dark until further notice. The university system has suspended all non-academic operations, and apparently Sistema TV also suffered storm damage. Many are treating this as the station being gone for good. The cessation of non-academic operations also has led to the suspension of the university's athletic programs for the 2017-18 school year. President José F. Méndez Méndez said in a statement: "It is a difficult decision, but as an educational institution, at this time our priority is to guarantee the continuity of our teaching and educational services so that each student can complete the academic term in our schools. All of our efforts are directed at making it possible for students to receive the best education and the best service in order to achieve their professional goals." The university system took on the PBS affiliation when WIPR-WIPM, which is owned by the government of Puerto Rico, left PBS in 2011. Sistema TV had been operating since 1985.
