Public Television has always relied on donations from viewers, like you. In the past, PBS was only viewed through a subscription, like HBO and Showtime are today. These subscriptions supported local, and nationwide stations. I was looking around YouTube and found this vintage video of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, promoting the urgency for financial support.
It goes to show you a message can stand the test of time.

How did you think to find this? Monty Python is so classic! Thanks for posting on your blog. This gives me ideas to look for on YouTube.
