#OETA #MovieClub #Judy
Normally I'm otherwise occupied at this hour on Saturdays, but #Snowmageddon is happening now so I tuned in to the state's PBS station and caught the movie "Judy", about Judy Garland's later years. The host of the show typically gives out tidbits of trivia, and the one tidbit he gave out just now was jaw-dropping, at least to me.

The movie he was showing starred Renee Zelweger and he said there was another movie that was in the works but starring Anne Hathaway, basically a similar biopic but focusing on the abuses Judy suffered under one of her studio's owners. It never got made, but what's noteworthy, given the focus of that movie, was that the producer was Harvey Weinstein.

If you are in #StephanieBice's US house district (most of the #OKC Metro is), please call her office at 405-300-6890 and urge her to vote no on the massive cuts to public media, including our own #OETA, #KGOU, and #KOSU..

And then share this message. She needs to know the political cost that comes from rubberstamping Trump's cuts to these vital sources of news and cultural programming, especially for #rural Oklahonans.

$2.9 million is not an astronomical amount of money. I can't but dream of the idea of some of the larger tribes putting up the money, in exchange for blocks of air time of indigenous programming

A question for everybody that lives in one of the states (see below) where public television *isn't* funded, in part or whatever, by a state entity (like the Oklahoma Educational Television Authority, or OETA, that will go dark in a few weeks or 12 months from now if our State Legislature doesn't override a gubernatorial veto of OETA's charter renewal*).

My question is: How do you watch PBS programming, and how do you donate?

The states in question:
Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.

Thanks in advance.

* Per Oklahoma statute, an entity that has lost state funding--let's say OETA if worse comes to worst--can operate an additional 12 months as it goes through "ceasing operations" and disbursement of fiscal and physical assets. Any monies would revert to Oklahoma's general fund; physical assets (cameras, facilities, etc. perhaps) would be turned over to OMES, or the Office of Management and Enterprise Services. That is to say, if the Oklahoma State Legislature doesn't override the veto, OETA's charter will expire on July 1, 2023--the first day of OK's fiscal year. After that, OETA can operate while shutting down for another 12 months, presumably to be shut down by June 30, 2024.
