SOURCE: San Diego Union and San Diego Evening Tribune from San Diego, California, Times-Advocate in Escondido, California.
Here is the complete schedule of the Fesitval '76 Membership Campaign from PBS affiliate KPBS-TV in San Diego, CA from Sunday March 7th through Sunday March 21st, 1976 (PBS' National March Membership Drive was used to be 11 days (1 week), but NOW 2 Weeks (15 days), according to PBS, the San Diego Union and San Diego Evening Tribune). 📺 💵
NOTE: KPBS is conducting its usual local Membership Campaign called "KPBS Membership Days" but PBS' second National Annual Membership Fund-raising and public awareness campaign, and it will include Membership Appeals between regularly scheduled programs, so I don't know if KPBS had another membership pledge campaign after the February 1974 Public Television Membership Week or before the December 1974 Awareness Week or before the 1975 membership drives, and any other membership pledge drive in 1972 and 1973.
SO PRETTY PLEASE Let me know in the comments or questions or suggestions for any concern... DON'T HESITATE, COMMENT ANYTIME!!
