RIPBS running school closings

When I tuned into RIPBS (WSBE) earlier today, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A School Closing list at the bottom of the screen. This is the first time I have ever heard of a PBS station running school closings. Has this happened before?
 
Depends on if they have the manpower and ability to do so. Many PBS stations are on a tight budget.

They need to serve their community the same as everyone else and this is how they have chosen to do it.

Seems a natural fit too, since PBS is heavy on the kid's programs, what better place to run school closings.
 
As dumb as it sounds.I never thought to air School closings on WSBE.I'm surprised no one thought of this before.Like 30 years ago. what a great idea.
An idea so simple.No one thought of it.
 
And who knew, it's the station that signs off for eight-some-odd hours daily (a rarity in this age of HD) that comes up with this idea!
