Local PBS in Tampa did not carry NOW show on Media ownership.
I did not watch, forgot about it, but some friends called and said it was pre-empted by a show about Branson, Missouri.

This was WEDU in Tampa/St. Pete. The friends who called have cable. One time before our Dish Network WEDU put cartoons on instead of a controversial NOW show.

Here is the link to the NOW show that was pre-empted. Hope it was worth while for those who got to see it.

2. I guess we are so used to this stuff now, that it drops like a rock.
That or no one watches NOW anymore. I admit I forgot last night, but I fought hard when Dish Network put cartoons on PBS all night.

I guess I would like to know it was just Bright House Networks that did it. I am supposed to get a call back, but hell might freeze over.
