New direction

Check This Out! is taking a slight but important new way of posting.

For mots of its life, Check Me Out has strived to post something interesting or at least not boring each day. While there is certainly enough fodder to choose from and the Obama Administration and Congressional leaders make it so easy, there are only a finite number of hours in the day.

So, Check This Out1 will be a weekly column on various activities in media and politics and where they may merge.

The first column will appear before Wednesday, January 20th and be posted weekly after that.

The first column will be, "Can public television survive PBS?"

It will be fun.

Thanks.
