Television Goes Public

Tune in with your feedbackIn this episode BAF explores how television took a different turn with more cultural, educational, and informative programs. The programming started as early as the 1950s but became part of a more formalized network that was funded and operated differently and officially classified as public television. The emergence of PBS brought Julia Child and Bob Ross, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and Sesame Street, Masterpiece Theatre and Great Performances, and other programs and specials that expanded viewers' horizons and experiences while watching television over the decades. Support the show
