I really Love Frontline. It along with the New Yorker is the only news outlet doing a good job of what is happening with this war and the country generally.
I just watched the first episode of Frontline of the season (ONLINE) [I have been eagerly awaiting it for weeks].

It says at the end of the show...Support (like a link to click)
Then it gives me this crap.....

I don't want to join my "local station" I don't want to "support PBS Kids" I want to give to FRONTLINE - Period. (Well maybe like 10-15% could go to some general fund but other then that just Frontline).

If you (Doc) can fix this you will make them money.
Until then I don't give.

It should be noted I don't own a television and have not watched in that format since I went to college in '95. Online viewing is the only way I see shows. I know it costs money to give me this experience and I am willing to donate to keep it up and running for open public viewing (I will not pay if you charge me to watch it though).

I grew up listening to public radio in Canada (where it is just government funded) I love it. Like Sarah Vowel I am passionate about radio and love good television documentary. I want these things in my life. I want to contribute to make them happen but it is not in the 'station donation form'

When listening to my local station I almost always listen online. (I don't drive a car so I almost never listen to a real radio). I also when I really want a show I go to the 'find a show' tool that will connect you with a station broadcasting that program at that time. What is local any more when you can do this? I want to support the shows I love and really don't want to feed the ones I don't much care for. I like Freshair, Marketplace, This American Life.

as an added bonus
I would like to watch other news and documentary shows like Frontline but I don't know where they are. Where are the people who like Frontline also like these other whose on PBS, NPR, PRI etc? So far the few I have tried to find don't have as good online viewing as Frontline. But really I tried to find Now with Bill Moyers once - that was it. I don't want to wade through the PBS universe of programming to find them.
