#OPB (#Oregon Public Broadcasting) now broadcasts a podcast called #NoSmallEndeavor hosted by #bible-thumper #LeeCCamp out of #Tennessee. I’ve contacted OPB to cancel my ongoing (decades) contributions immediately as a direct result.
I just sent a an email to #OPB asking them to please stop telemarketing. I've received several calls during the workday now asking for more money. Who gives money based on random phone calls anymore? I only answered the phone because I was expecting a call, and don't enjoy cutting off the volunteer.

Several things from watching OPB/PBS at night, alone, as a kid creeped me out as a kid and continues to be seared into my mind. Listed in no particular order:

1. WGBH ident after a program that they produced

2. Doctor Who Fourth Doctor intro

3. Still image of the Portland Nursery sponsor card (sometimes without any sponsor read)

4. Mystery! introduction/title

5. The OPB logo with the "O" in a square with a gray gradient background and orange text. What creeped me out was the static image that would stay on the screen without music or voice... unless if they were experiencing technical diffculties and the voice coming on to say that after a bit of silence.

Federal officers use crowd control munitions as demonstrators protest outside Portland ICE building

Thousands of protesters turned out for a mostly peaceful demonstration Saturday in Portland to speak out against increased immigration enforcement. By the end of the day, scores of nonviolent protesters were hit with chemical munitions fired by federal officers responding to a smaller crowd directly outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

OPB President’s Update: We’ve Closed the Gap

A message from OPB President and CEO Rachel Smolkin

OPB
Also as an aside, #Oregon should be proud of #OPB and Southern Oregon PBS, because of the previous post in this thread. Just wish I could get Oregon Field Guide on any of the 7 public television channels from 2 stations I get here. We do get Rick Steves' Europe and All Across Oregon though.

Finally got an okay-enough antenna for my HDTV tuner box. Now I'm looking for things to tune into.

I've been out of the over-the-air TV game for a while. I mean, there's #OPB of course, but I can tune into so many mystery (to me) channels.

When I was a kid in the 80s/90's there was some weird/local stuff on broadcast TV, like, one step above cable-access production value (sometimes not even).

Does anyone know of any programs of local/weird stuff that I should check out?
