Maybe just where I live, but I have free access to 3 different PBS networks with a total of 13 channels. That is all on a $30 antenna. No membership, or cost for me. I thought it was that way all over? I see in a weeks time
American Woodshop
This old house, and ask TOH tommy frequently has little woodwork tips, and even Narmon makes a woodworking cameo from time to time.
Uncle Roy, and the Woodwrights shop
T Mac daddy I mumble NE lingo, and say GUYS every other word. Lotta rumors T baby is leaving, but PBS says
this about him, and his TV future
Our old hosts on here at WoodSmith Shop.
Also on PBS, but seemingly harder to find a time slot when you are awake, or not working is
A Craftsmans Legacy which has a guy finding craft in America. Not always about Woodworking, but of the ones I have seen it's a good show, again the time slot travels more than the host....
I know Scott Phillips, and you have to believe me he doesn't enjoy putting in pocket screws any more than anyone likes watching him do it, buy Kreg, Ape Glue, and a lot of his sponsors want their product shown, or the money dries up, and the production costs of such a show are so high that you need one of two things. Sponsors, or in the case of Uncle Roy "DEEP POCKETS" of people who like what you do, and they pay the way to continue. Scott is like you and I, Poor, and doesn't know any riche folks who like him that much
Ralph covered it all saying that he is where he is, because Amazoo is covering the costs. Substantial costs too. I always get a kick out of the critics
If it were so easy, why don't they start their own show, gee we all want that custom show where you just see exactly what you want to watch, certainly they can make that happen.......
When I have enough allowance I will watch them.
