Our Public Broadcasting System would like you to believe they exist on
donations but it's mostly government subsidies and low profile advertising
by corporate 'sponsors'. Several times a year they trot out the good shows
and you know begging season has begun. The shows are interrupted
frequently by a couple of talking heads saying how wonderful viewer
supported programming is, and if you sign up for $$$ per month they'll
send you a DVD of the show so you can watch it uninterrupted.

I only watch Saturday night if they have 'Austin City Limits' and a local
music show on. Much of the programming is British like 'Doc Martin' or
they have broadened the scope to subtitled French and Danish? shows. I'm
not sure about the latter; it's a Germanic language but not German.

I used to watch the Canadian 'Red Green' show but that ended in 2006.
