Are you with Big Bird?


Dear Friend:


The complete elimination of federal funding for PBS is back in the national dialogue—in spite of the fact that 7 in 10 Americans oppose eliminating federal funding for PBS.

Because of the comments made at the Presidential Debate this week, I want to make sure you have accurate information and to ask you to voice your support for KCTS 9.

We are the only media entity charged with serving the American people not selling to them, and we must work now to preserve and protect that mission.

Join us at 170millionamericans.org today to make your voice heard.

Cutting federal funding for public broadcasting won't make a dent in the budget deficit, but it will cripple the ability of public television stations like KCTS 9 to bring you…

... trusted, unbiased news programs like PBS NewsHour and FRONTLINE;
… noncommercial, educational children's programs like Sesame Street and Curious George;
... illuminating documentaries on programs like American Experience and Independent Lens;
... arts and culture programs like Masterpiece, Great Performances and American Masters;
…local programs like When Seattle Invented the Future, Undamming the Elwha, Reel NW, and KCTS 9 Connects.


Learn the facts about the costs—and benefits—of public broadcasting to our country at valuePBS.org. Then forward this email to five friends. Together, we will protect Big Bird.

Thank you for all you do to support KCTS 9,


Maurice “Moss” Bresnahan
President & CEO
