MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- Each day, PBS programming fills the airwaves of Alabama Public Television with shows such as "Sesame Street," "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood," "Antiques Roadshow" and "PBS Newshour." Alabamians could lose access to those programs on state airwaves if the Alabama Educational Television Commission opts to become the first state network to sever ties with PBS. The Alabama commission last month discussed the possibility of dropping PBS and is expected to discuss the matter again its Nov. 18 meeting. The possibility comes after President Donald Trump and Congress in July withdrew funding for the nonprofit The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which provides grants to public radio and television, and as some state commissioners accused PBS of being an unneeded expense or politically biased.
