KCET to break from PBS

[Guest Former Member 207]

According to the L.A. Times (and they even mentioned it once before in their Calendar section most recently), KCET Channel 28 will leave PBS at the end of year, and will become an "independent" public TV station.

Wow. I wonder does that mean if the BBC World simulcasts are in jeopardy again?

And I wonder if that means they won't broadcast Nightly Business Report anymore, which returned under the PBS banner in 2005. For most of its' tenure, the program was under the American Program Service/American Public Television banner.

There are three other PBS member stations in the market: KLCS, KVCR, and KOCE.
