MAY 2012 Program Grid Important Information Inside Cover PBS PBS MHz Worldview
Time and time again our members have told us that what matters most is the programming they receive from the Community Idea Stations. State budget cuts require that we make some difficult changes so that we can direct your membership dollars where they matter the most. Not including staff time, the Program Grid costs nearly $25,000 per year, money we believe you would prefer we use toward the cost of programs. Consequently, we will discontinue the Program Grid after the June issue. More and more viewers are relying on others methods to receive their programming information. Many use their onscreen guides provided by their cable or satellite companies, others go to the web. Visit ideastations.org to access online programming information. You ll find much more information than the Program Grid gives you.!"access programming highlights!"get full program descriptions about any program in our schedule!"find the most up-to-date schedules for all of our channels!"set email reminders for programs you don t want to miss!"find out when a program you missed will repeat!"watch full episodes of many programs on demand We hope you find these resources provide you with the information you need to continue to enjoy your Community Idea Stations. Thank you for understanding and for your financial support!
