Re: Another reason to hate Public Television

[Cooper Fox <fox893@yahoo.com>]

There's a good reason for it...  It sounds like and
excellent marketing tactic.  You have a few very
famous 50s/60s rock n rollers and then add the big
band with all of their members wearing tuxes and it
all seems so much more upper class. I know people back
home who listen to public radio and watch public TV
primarily because they feel upper class and
sophisticated.  I am no saying this is tue for
everyone who watches public TV, tho.  I persoanlly
used to watch solely for Doctor Who when they still
had it on back here in Maine.
