Dear KRCB:

Please don't end World Focus. It is one of the very best news programs. BBC is the only other source of world news and even that program is mostly focused on the US. Americans need more world news to make us aware of other countries and peoples, not less. Thank you.

Dear Viewer:

The decision to end World Focus is not ours. It is a decision made by the producers. They made an announcement during their Monday, March 8, 2010 broadcast about their decision. It was announced to our programming director here at KRCB only a few days earlier that they have been unable to obtain the funding they need to keep the program in production due to the economies of the times. If they can find the funding, they will continue it, but it is purely a financial decision at this time. We here at KRCB have no say in whether it continues or not. You could try contacting them directly at http://worldfocus.org


Thanks for your inquiry.

KRCB Staff

It seems peculiar that all of your auction items have very high bids on them already even though they are first appearing. Also, Ive checked a couple of the retail prices on items and the opening bid price is actually higher than the actual retail price if purchased directly through the donor. I'm all for supporting public television but please! You are getting these items for nothing and then selling them for more than retail. I grew up in S.F and I don't remember KQED ever putting overinflated starting bids on their items like you do. People want to support public TV but they also want to get a good deal. I don't think I'll be bidding on any items this year or ever if you don't re-visit your auction policies.
