A significant shake-up is on the horizon for the landscape of American public media, as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) faces an unprecedented challenge to its nearly six-decade legacy.
The CPB has historically been the financial backbone for entities like PBS and NPR, alongside supporting 1,500 local radio and television stations and iconic programs such as “Sesame Street,” embodying the essence of quality Public Broadcasting.
The organization announced its impending closure following the U.S. government’s withdrawal of crucial Media Funding, signaling the end of an era for its widespread contributions to educational programming and cultural content.
Meanwhile, in the realm of Entertainment News, fans of iconic television are bracing for another significant conclusion as ‘And Just Like That…,’ the eagerly anticipated sequel to ‘Sex and the City,’ prepares to wrap up its narrative after its third season, promising a two-part finale.
Showrunner Michael Patrick King confirmed the decision to conclude the series while writing its final episode, with Sarah Jessica Parker sharing a heartfelt Instagram post expressing gratitude and reflecting on the show’s journey as a pivotal TV Series in the modern Streaming landscape.
The sequel, which explores the characters’ lives in their mid-50s and new challenges, notably featured a brief cameo by Kim Cattrall’s Samantha Jones in Season 2, contrasting with the original ‘Sex and the City’ which ran from 1998 to 2004.
Shifting gears to a more lighthearted, yet equally engaging, corner of Entertainment News, the internet’s most beloved felines are making their way to the silver screen with the return of Cat Video Fest this weekend.
This 73-minute, G-rated compilation of all things feline showcases the best of Cat Culture, playing in over 500 independent theaters across the U.S. and Canada, with a portion of ticket proceeds benefiting local cat-focused charities and shelters.
