but I can watch Frontline at the https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline site

I have no subscription. All I did was click on yes when the page asked me if WSRE ( Pensacola)
was my tv station.
I live in Alabama, and don't have a tv. All I have is a shitty DSL provider.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/film/ebola-in-congo/ is what I am watching at the moment.

DID PBS change their subscription policy or something?

programs at the PBS website, and also videos of recent programs. So much in media is fragmented and available online now which is good and bad. F & F in JAX area have expensive cable but there's no PBS member station there, only some public TV which airs older PBS programming; I was amazed at this.
