PBS YOU



PBS YOU (the latter word is an acronym for "Your Own University") was founded in the late 1990s as a 24/7 channel/network featuring formal and informal educational programs and college-related fare, largely to take advantage of available rights and satellite transponder space and eager customers for carriage among the satellite-dish and some cable television companies. PBS YOU has also included PBS Adult Learning Service (ALS) telecourses for college credit and foreign language instruction, but as of October, 2005, is dropping these; how-to programs and public affairs programs and news predominate (the Annenberg/CPB Channel remains in place as a source of networked feeds of credit courses; PBS ALS has been decommissioned as of September, 2005).
