PBS weighing online programming
Paula Kerger, president and chief executive officer of the Public Broadcasting Service, is considering making programming available online or in more portable forms, such as making shows available for download to MP3 players.
The station is also considering partnerships such as the one the Walt Disney Company has with Apple where programs from the ABC television network are being sold on iTunes for downloading to iPods.
At a lunch on Monday, Kerger said that her "goal in running PBS is that no matter what choice consumers in the digital age decide to do ... we recognize the need to make content available to any of those platforms, and right now we're moving in that direction."

Very nice. Glad some organizations are paying attention to what the consumers want.
I agree. I find it refreshing and also say "It's about time!"
