My son in Billings called to see if we were able to watch PBS as they have a total blackout. They have Optimum (formerly Bresnan) and they reported that they have PBS off the air tonight. Any subscriber to them will not get to watch "Frontline", Big Sky, Big Money". They gave them an extra day...but, I think they will get dumped. Someone is running mighty scared when they don't want you to know the truth.

You can include Helena. Kalispell is apparently on.

It's on Directv. If Your cable subscriber is censoring what you watch, you need to quit them!

Thanks Bob. Pretty interesting, huh? I am checking Gt. Falls but haven't heard back. Pitiful, huh?

Can see it online here ...

Here in southern Oregon we get it, but not untill 10:00 pm. I think it was supposed to be at 8:00 pm.

I get mine on antenna. Nice of Optimum...jerks!

Just got a call from Billings. PBS came back on as soon as
Frontline" ended.

Chances are, PBS. will run it again. Keep watching your local listings. Call Montana PBS and ask them to air it again.

As far as I know it was in Billings, Bozeman, Missoula and Helena and Ellen's show was also blocked. I believe her opening mentioned "Big Bird. Anyone who had Optimum (formerly Bresnan) was blocked. People did watch it on the PBS website. Funny when you have older people who have to censored:-)

Betty, there were over 100 at the Rally last night...thanks to Matt, Megan and Mary Catherine D. from Tester headquarters.

It's on again at 12:30 AM tonight. I set my DVR to record it but I have the Billings affiliate on Directv so we'll see if they black it out again. It's also on at 4AM and Noon on Thursday and 8PM on Friday.

I hope this link works

If you had no other way to watch the shows, this sound like a violation of their FCC contract. You should look into filing a complaint against them. A nice big pile of fines may make them think before doing anything like this again. Not in the effected area or I would.

I see that there are many other options. We were able to watch it as we have Mid-Rivers. When my son called, he was told that they were blocked and in which towns. When my friend in Billings called, she was told that the transmitters were down. Thank you to those who have given options for viewing. It is interesting how they come up with the garbage. Even more interesting is what people are prone to believe???? Hope Montanans are smarter:-)

Jeri,
I dumped Optimum last month so I can't really complain. Have your son file a complaint.

They gave my son another day when he asked them if they pro-rate things like that..ha! He may dump them too. Just heard from a friend who lives in Gt. Falls...theirs was blacked out too. The major cities in MT. Interesting. Levi has some good times on this thread. There is even a link to watch it.

My friend, who grew up in New York, not Montana, said that this was the best Frontline Report ever. Here is the link he posted.
