We're up again. - Trip

I'm aware that it's down again. This is the third outage in the last month. It appears there may be some kind of sporadic hardware issue but I've been unable to get any kind of error message to be able to diagnose it. Today's issue is particularly dumb. The server was being flaky but there...

Some individual PBS stations get extensive government funding, while some do not. The statements you hear are almost always about PBS or NPR as a networks, not individual stations. And it's important to listen for that term "federal funding," as we're talking here about state funding. Here's...

Updating thread title to reflect veto override. - Trip

First time this FCC staffer has ever heard that. - Trip
