Most interesting station for me is WHA PBS. Everything from "The Flame Trees of Thicka" (the British Tv series that revived Hayley Mills' career) to "The Unknown War", a documentary about the Soviet front in WW2 that largely disappeared after the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. And who doesn't love a PBS station that airs bowling?

Also they're the only PBS station with a 3 letter callsign!
