PBS coming to Local Now

I've been a supporter of PBS for years. No, I don't like everything they air, but I do appreciate what they do, and feel it's worthwhile to support. And I do.

I first became a PBS supporter, giving back in the 1970s. It was a result of one of those fundraisers that everyone hates, but are necessary because, well, quite honestly, they work. It worked on me, and I'm a tough nut to crack.

Anyway, I am a PBS supporter, and use the PBS app. As a supporter, I can access the Passport content.

I was happy when I saw an article recently that PBS was coming to Local Now:

Not all markets are live yet on the Local Now app, but PBS stations are starting to go live. If your market is not let yet by the end of 2023, you should find your local PBS on Local Now.

"The addition of local PBS stations is a major achievement for Local Now and cements our position as the leader of free-streaming local news and entertainment in America," said Byron Allen, Founder/Chairman/CEO of Allen Media Group, the parent company of Local Now told Deadline. "Viewers of all ages know and love PBS, and soon they will be able to stream this amazing content for free, anytime."

I checked this morning, and it's not yet available for me. I'm assuming being in southeast Georgia, I'm not high on their priority list. It's like that for a lot of things. Many of the networks don't think about us, or like us. Well, me anyway.

Still, the news that PBS is coming is a thing I was happy to see. My Streaming Life is getting better.
