KCET in trouble
Yesterday, LA Times media reporter James Rainey discussed some of the financial and structural problems plaguing LA’s public television station, KCET. And callers talked about what they like—and don’t like—about their PBS affiliate. Today, Al Jerome, KCET’s President and CEO, comes to the Mohn Broadcast Center to discuss his plans for sorting out KCET’s issues and what he sees as the mission for public television.
