Does anyone who lives in NY - know why our local PBS channel, Channel 13, is not showing the David Tennant Masterpiece Theater series "The Escape Artist"? Instead the listing is for Do Wop Music in the 1940s or 1950s.

[Note to Channel 13 - this is not how you get and keep subscribers/donators. It's actually how you lose them.]

Can't say I blame you. They usually do their pledge drives during the summer months. And pick third rate programs - because they can get cheap CDS to give to their donators.

But I think it is counterproductive in a way. A far smarter method would be to show the Escapist or This Old House, then do a break in the middle with the plea for donations, then continue. Sort of like commercial television handles it.
