Public Television
Public Television stations exist in most areas of the country. These stations have few if any commercials and depend on their viewers for financial support. The Public Broadcasting System (PBS) acts like a network for these stations. Most stations will show children's and educational programs during the day. During prime time, they will show quality documentaries, performing arts, public affairs programs, and a great number of British-made dramatic, mystery and comedy series.
