Re: Speaking of ads...
PBS didn't come to my area till around 1964-65. Within 10 years, of the 4 local broadcast network affiliates (NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS) the PBS affiliate was the "richest" of them all as far as assets were concerned, especially "liquid" assets, as in money in the bank. Needless to say they were very successful with their "please give us money" campaigns, but they did deliver good stuff--Monty Python and the like.
That was then; this is now. TV used to be what the family gathered around in the evening--it was the catalyst. Now, it's something else. Love it or hate it, it is what it is. |
