Make PBS Fixture Suze Orman Figure Something Out!
Orange County PBS outlet KOCE-TV is dangerously close to being sold to a group of bible-thumpers.
According to the L.A. Times, religious broadcasters Trinity Broadcasting (home of the purple-haired lady you've seen while flipping past Channel 40) and Daystar TV have each offered to buy KOCE for $25 million cash -- which is 2 1/2 times the amount offered by a combined bid from KOCE Foundation and Los Angeles' PBS affiliate KCET-TV.
Reports the Times: The five trustees of the Coast Community College District, which owns KOCE Channel 50, are now faced with the decision of whether to sell for the highest price or to sell at a discount to a group that would continue Public Broadcasting Service programming, along with local shows.
Save Bert and Ernie!
