Here’s last night’s story about public media, who it serves, what we can do to counteract the Trump administration’s budget cuts to it, and why the answer is “sell Russell Crowe’s jock strap.” You’ll see. youtu.be/yknMJOgy2pA

Gotta love this sequence jumble just to watch a Bucks game.
It's available over-the-air in Madison tonight (1st image), but not the live local channel stream on Paramount+ (2nd image), but somehow (and this is new to me), I can watch it on... {checks notes} Pluto TV (3rd & 4th).
Because obviously.
