Paula Kerger, the chief executive of PBS, is used to fights over the public broadcaster’s funding. But to her, the latest threats feel like “all-out effort to take us out.”

A lot of stuff on commercial television came from PBS.

The first financial news show came from PBS. Cooking was really Julia Child. Even reality shows, believe it or not, came from PBS, with “American Family” in the early ’70s.

Part of what PBS does should be seen as an incubator for new stuff and new ideas.
