Could The Weather Channel's Local on the 8s feature inform a PBS strategy for delivering local content? In a universal broadband world, this could work. Any problem-solving traffic pros want to chime in regarding the technical issues/solutions? What are the programming issues? Perhaps more common carriage, but easier promotion. Plus, who doesn't love light jazz? We have our own ideas, but we'd

Over the last couple of days, we've received excellent comments from John Proffitt, David Thiel and Colin Powers. Thank you all for your engagement. We welcome readers to see them below.We will try to address some of the concerns, though too many worthwhile questions have been raised to tackle all of them in one post. In this post, we will try to expand our vision for local "offices" as opposed

Due to the popular response to our shorter posts, we're making "Shorties" an official blog feature. Some will be fun. Some will make you think. We promise to maintain our high standards of communication and refrain from getting "low," though we make no promises about apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur. Especially on the weekends.

That's right. It's Robert Siegel, in app form. What about some video with that radio star? Why that might look like PBS, distributed in a whole new way....http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125471632

We know some of what we suggest will be difficult for fans of PBS (not to mention those employed by PBS) to hear. We know revolutionizing the PBS model will necessarily lead to job transitions and even losses. We don't take this prospect lightly, but we still believe in reducing the size of PBS in order to make it stronger. To help make this medicine go down we offer the occasional Spoonful of

Today's deals with distribution.The Pony Express was a private endeavor founded just over 150 years ago to allow expedited communication with the West. At its height, the Pony Express had over 100 stations (by some counts as many as 157), 80 riders, and between 400-500 horses. The completion of

Thank you for visiting RevolutionPBS! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter. Soon we will be adding regular content and asking for comments. Join the revolution. Our nation needs PBS as a strong, efficient gatekeeper. The current system is bloated by too much infrastructure and administration cost. We will foster discussion as to how to change that.
