Now THAT is a blast from the past!

I really think that the hundreds of cable/satellite channels, and now thousands of streaming channels, have pretty much buried the "traditional" OTA broadcast media (some of it also due to their broadcast restrictions).

In the past, a lot of good journalism was to be found on PBS (and NPR - notably the local stations), but that has a target on its back (again, for the billionth time).

One somewhat very good substitute for the types of programming that PBS used to show IS CSPAN (specifically CSPAN3, which is not tied to one of the chambers of Congress and programming can be flexed over to them). There have been so many amazing historical and politically-themed long-form programs on there that I have watched over the years (plus the CSPANs have their "BookTV" - and their original "Booknotes" with the older interviews).
