PBS cooking shows
ATK , Cook's Country , Lidia's kitchen , Pati's Mexican
are $$$ streams for the company that makes them .
quite some time ago , I noted that PBS cooking shows had less time cooking //30 min
than FoodNetwork. Ads for PBS , ads for the cooking shows products , etc.
I have no idea if PBS paid anything for them , as it was a win // win financially for each party.
One particular show on PBS some time ago , was clearly given to PBS for free.
it featured a long time prominent ' style ' personage , and PBS was glad to get something for free
in spite of the personalities felony conviction .
they did place the show early in the cooking show ' day ' , saving the Meat and Potatoes
for a more Prime cooking time : Saturday afternoons , USA
