Since the government made the antenna TV digital, we have lost the signal for our ABC and CBS stations. So, we depend upon PBS to give us the majority of our Sunday News Shows. We still get Bartiromo and Meet the Press on NBC. The rest are all PBS. Those include Comment on Kentucky, To the Contrary, Inside Washington, and McLaughlin Group.

If you watch them all, you get a good idea of who has what talking points, what the press is focusing on, etc., for a given week. I did get to see Bartiromo and Meet the Press today, but they were beyond unmemorable. And KET, the network that provides us with our PBS, has been doing fundraiser the last two weekends, and has pre-empted the news shows for concerts and other programs that think will entice more money from their viewers.

But in my opinion, having these news shows on goes to the heart of what PBS should be all about. If KET can't spare 90 minutes to air To the Contrary, Inside Washington, and McLaughlin Group on Sunday morning, then it has a real problem.
