Why can't people just donate directly? I set up recurring payments for donation-based channels I watch on Youtube, so not sure why this can't be the same.

- strictnein 10y agoThey can. People do. We donate $10 monthly to TPT, Twin Cities Public Television (the local PBS affiliate).
- richardjs 10y agoPeople do. That's what the pledge drives and "brought to you by viewers like you" commonly heard on PBS are about. Different local stations rely on difference funding sources. Stations in smaller or rural markets would have a harder time existing on direct donations alone.
- astrodust 10y agoThe people PBS can best serve are often the ones with the least amount of money to donate.
