janshot did the math

Cancel Paramount+, donate the $60/year to PBS!

$535 million is the 2025 PBS appropriation from Congress. Paramount+ claims 79 million subscribers at $60/year.

If 9 million people cancel their subscriptions and donate to PBS, we could make up the $$$ and make a point to CBS/Paramount!!!

9 million $60/year subscriptions is 540 million

20 million $60/yr subscriptions is 1.2 billion, think of what PBS could do with that.

CANCEL NOW & donate!

2. Great idea!

And while we are at it, let’s add to TV and Radio a National Public Newspaper.

3. Paramount may be one of the ones who are boycott proof.

They cut deals with phone and cable companies, so their memberships are free.

6. They also have a streaming service which is not free

For the cable cutters

12. They also have Star Trek. Good luck getting fans to give that up!

5. I have been a supporter of PBS since I first started watching Cosmos with Carl Sagan

I would make it a point to not miss that every week. I watch a lot of PBS, even now n get more from it than I give. Great idea to help keep it alive

9. I expect they will become the next TLC moving from 'boring educational things' to

'Preggers at 15...and blissfully happy...you can do it too'

10. If you donate to PBS, is the money under their control

Or does it go to Trump's Govt to divert and use as he sees fit?

11. I've cut the cord a long time ago.

Donating to PBS and NPR is money well spent and much less expensive than cable.

13. Donated $60

14. I did both of those things last week.
