I thought PBS was shutting down?

The US government stopped funding it, but it was 'self-sustaining' (through donations) already.

Bingo. I'm not sure what would happen if you shut off the woodwrights shop or this old house but I think an home improvement based uprising with chisels and marking knives wouldn't be terribly out of the question.

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down. Not PBS nor NPR.
