I Renewed My WTTW Membership
Even though I wondered if we should support WTTW due to their weird/inappropriate spending habits and perhaps unnecessary layoffs, I ended up renewing my membership because the bottom line is that there's a lot of junk on TV and we need to support institutions that offer quality programming.
No, I don't work for that station and never have, but it's really nice to see alternatives to shows that cater to the lowest common denominator. At least Channel 11 attempts to offer more sophisticated programming, in spite of a few exceptions.
Maybe if more people become members, they'll stop doing so many fundraisers and use their money more wisely. Let's hope public TV doesn't go away because I can only take so much reality and trash TV.
