This is one of my biggest fears, aside from PBS going away all together. Commercials I an deal with for the most part.

I don't mind that sort of programming being on TV, but it seems to be slowly taking over all the formerly prestigious cable channels like History, TLC, etc.

I was raised on PBS, it's been there for me when I couldn't afford cable, and now with more and more schlock on the TV it's one of my last refuges.

I donate when I can, but I still worry about their funding being cut. Then who knows what sort of compromises they'll have to make.

Wait for when they really get desperate and you see Swamp Dog, Bounty Logger.
