I saw a PBS ad and thought I would check them out. Now that college basketball is almost over, looking for something different.
So I downloaded the PBS app using my Roku.
Lots of free content with shows like Austin City Limits, Ken Burns documentaries, Jazz, Nova, Downton Abbey seasons 1-6, and much more.
On thier internet website, there is endless merchandise to buy. (Check out the clearance items. Who doesn't like a Mister Rogers mug)
https://shop.pbs.org/clearance
And don't forget....PBS Stations rely on generous donations from viewers like you, corporate sponsorships, and foundation grants to cover the rest of their operating budget. Part of each station’s operating budget is programming dues which it pays to PBS (and NPR) for National programming like PBS NewsHour.
Now what if someone at PBS found out about Verb......
- PBS social media and twitter ads for shows could be interactive videos vs. pictures.
- Verb interactive links could take folks to thier merchandise shop or to donate.
-PBS could host a livestream and post links to other content such as PBD Kids shows.
- PBS would be Happening!
- How much more revenue, exposure, and publicity could they get partnering with Verb.
- The History channel might get jealous
- We shall see who is first.
