Inside PBS Blog

PBS now has over 1,100 videos on YouTube, many with tens of thousands of views. In fact, this week PBS was the #55 Most Viewed Director and Partner (PBS has an upgraded account that lets us post videos that are longer than the normal 10 minute limit) on the popular video sharing site.

With so much content being viewed, some PBS videos get quite a few comments.

After watching a recent Bill Moyers preview clip about extreme radio personalities sustamm said, "I love Bill Moyers. He's an intelligent, thoughtful sensitive man who has kept himself away from the metastasizing nastiness of present day America which is most powerfully demonstrated by the denizens of right wing radio and TV."

But not all of the comments on that particular video were positive. In response to sustamm's comment Quercusalba2 said, "Moyers is a left wing hack. This piece is nothing more than pure lefty propaganda."

PBS's YouTube Channel also features quite a few clips for the younger set. One of the new PBS KIDS fall shows is MARTHA SPEAKS, starring Martha the dog; after watching a  clip in which Martha learns why some dogs are abandoned at animal shelters,  UchihaRubyStar offered, simply:: "aww :]."

In addition to the YouTube channel managed by PBS headquarters here in Crystal City, Virginia, several PBS member stations maintain their own channels; for example, Connecticut Public Broadcasting Network posts clips of UConn Women's Basketball, or PBS39 from Pennsylvania who posts copies of their public affairs program called Tempo.
