Democracy Now! is an independent, liberal news programme that airs in non-commercial, first-run international syndication, including many PBS member stations as well as radio (mainly NPR affiliates). However, WCNY here in town has just pulled it from their schedule from subchannel GlobalConnect, which itself has just been retired. The lineup has been revamped. Unless they bring it back, there's nowhere else but online to watch it for those of us who can. They did however, bring back PBS World, which other member stations provide, and the site says they'll still carry DN. I hope so as it provides a different and alternative perspective to the hard-hitting headlines of the day.
UPDATE: The programme has returned to Ch. 24. It's just on a little less and GlobalConnect was restored in place of World.
