PBS in Columbus Ohio not showing PJ on ACL

[SS68933]

I just called the PBS station in Columbus Ohio wanting to know why the Pearl Jam is not listed they said that "It was not their genre of music" and "it was not purchased" and "is not being shown on anything through December"

They said that they have had a few calls.

Here is their number to call and complain.

I know it's not the same, but I'm sure the entire show will be up on Youtube the following day

[TravisTheSky]

It will be on www.pbs.org.

Any one willing to burn a dvd?

i just called them and spoke to a manager and asked them why are they discriminating against rock music and they should be ashamed and that myself and everyone I know would stop immediately donating money to the channel. She said they are getting a ton of calls and they are considering showing it. I told her to shove it up her ass and I don't watch prejudice stations and hung up.



I'll torrent this on jamriver Sunday.

What the hell? That goes against all that PBS stands for. I wonder if they are aware that one of their affiliates is behaving like that?

It is not being shown on my local PBS station in Massachusetts.

The same PBS channel in Columbus did not play the PBS Soundstage episode with Death Cab for Cutie that was slated to air on July 9th, 2009.

Can this be found on line?

This is bullshit! "Not their genre of music??" The Columbus affiliate is a COLLEGE station! WOSU! How in the hell can they say its not their genre of music?

2 things.

1. i didn't call this station in columbus i live in cali. i was being sarcastic.

and 2. you overreact more than anyone on here about things that the rest of us read and "MOVE ON". what happened did a bunch of "the cool" pearl jam fans laugh at you and make fun of you before. it's ok your not in highschool anymore time should have healed those wounds.

I am in Boston. I could swear that I set my DVR to record this show a while ago; I hope I am right. But according to the website, they are not showing it. Luckily, Gnarls Barkley (11/22) will be played!

My wife works at our local PBS station and I think she would encourage dialog from the community. If they are not showing something, call them and let them know.

Obviously, try to be as polite as possible, but state your claim.

PBS relies on "viewers like you", so your opinions and comments really do make a difference.

I would also encourage you to support your local PBS station with a monetary gift. PBS puts food on our table. I had to throw that in there.

Again, do voice your concerns, but try to be as nice as you can. All you have to do is mention that you'll have to reconsider your contribution to the station during pledge...that will perk their ears up.

Cheers,
