They have nearly stopped in our area, too. I am very very disappointed...3 out of 4 weeks we get their fund raising programs on Saturday morning instead. We get Fons & Porter on the BYU channel on our cable system now, and they have them on nearly every day.
And then, to add to the disappointment, F&P gives the shows to the PBS stations for FREE!!! Now why wouldn't they take it? No sense!!

Get all of your quilt store owners to make donations to the station to pay for the quilt shows and they'll show them.

Thank goodness -- we still have sewing/quilting shows Sat AM from 8-12:30. When they do a fund raiser for the station, I always make sure I endorse the quilting programs. A while ago they put a really bad craft program on during the fund raiser and a lot of us complained. They listened because they want our money.

We get PBS stations from three states (5 channels) here in NH so we see Fons & Porter, Sewing with Nancy, Martha's Sewing Room, Quilting Arts, It's Sew Easy, and America Sews. Not bad for living out in the woods in the middle of nowhere. :lol:

contact your pbs and ask- request them- they show what their audiences want usually
