Public Television Quotes

“I miss those days of live television. There was that electric sense of excitement, of importance, when you sent that signal, at that very moment into people’s homes. That sense of urgency is diminished in the refinement of perfecting everything through multiple tapings until the talent and production crew get it right. Often during this process the original vitality is lost along with that sense of power, of instantly connecting with the audience”

“When asked, I told the board that public television should never be judged by the number of people who watch. That’s a competition we’ll never win, but rather, the measure is the impact our programming has on the people who do watch.”
