We probably shouldn't talk about politics here.
But as it relates to PBS (and indirectly CW), are you aware PBS might get their federal funding cut?

Not just CW for me
In Iowa, PBS broadcasts a lot of the High School State Championships. PBS is the only way some people can see them.

The first time I saw CW was on PBS. I dumped cable TV about two years ago (cost). Yes, there's an app, but most things require some kind of membership. Because of where I live, I can't use an antenna (HOA issues) and one of the small ones won't pick up my station.

I actually came here specifically looking to see if anyone mentioned this. I'm not too sure it'll affect CW that much because they are so incredibly successful with tours, CDs, and merchdise I'd think they could supplement any needed production for DVDs in the next 4 years.
For me, I'm more worried about Sesame Street. I don't have any kids to watch it but they've always been the trailblazers when it comes to issues facing kids. They've dealt with racism, death, 9/11, autism, homelessness, job loss, and so many other hard topics in kid friendly ways that it would be a huge gut punch for many kids and parents to loose it.
