Who else here mainly in the US, watches PBS sometimes? What is your local PBS station?

The PBS station of Oregon is called Oregon Public Broadcasting, or OPB for short.

I love PBS! They show some great programs. I have been watching The Great British Baking Show a lot lately and I watch the News Hour almost every night.

I also really enjoyed their children's programming as a kid. They showed classic Doctor Who back then too and that's how I first got into it :)

Don't a few places have more than one PBS station? I think that's kind of interesting.

I wish ours could be "Pennsylvania Public Television", but no. Ours just use the sometimes cryptic-style four-letter calls. :(

I am rather fond of the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme.
What's not to love about cheap drugs?
