The Changing Sounds of PBS
Public television has a long history of bringing music to America’s living rooms, from classical to live outdoor concerts. But some argue that music has been pushed out of primetime schedules, and that too much of its music programming now is driven by fundraisers. Soundcheck takes an inside look into a hotly debated issue: PBS' music programming. Plus, banjo player Abigail Washburn performs live in-studio. She’s a bluegrass folkie who blends Chinese folk traditions into her music.
