Subject:   Required Programming

Your message on public radio on friday rang so loud and
clear..."for this
(using the public airways) they pay us absolutely nothing."  We
agree that it is long overdue to spell out some minimum
programming requirements for the major networks.  Ignorance will
be the scorge of our nation.  We must take every inch of
opportunity to provide meaningful, enlightening media not only
for children but for parents.  And it should be offered at times
when children are destined to turn on the tube...like between 4pm
and 8pm.  It's too bad that it should have to be mandated, but as
long as profit seeking superseeds civic duty, mandates will
probably be neccessary.
  We are fed up with the garbage that pervades the airways.  So
many mindless sitcoms and gossip shows...it is sickening!  You
are right on!!!
