\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n PBS<\/strong><\/a> is one of the few channels that has been considered \u201cstrike proof,\u201d meaning, it was not heavily impacted by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that affected the writers and actors<\/a>.<\/p>\n Now, we\u2019re here to explain why that is!<\/p>\n The fan favorite network airs a mix-up of documentary-type television shows, UK TV shows, educational TV and more. Because these types of shows were largely excluded from the strikes, PBS really wasn\u2019t impacted too heavily. The network also has a public TV agreements with each of the guildes, which also made it exempt.<\/p>\n Only one of their fall television shows was even impacted, and that\u2019s because the show\u2019s star, John Leguizamo<\/strong><\/a> for American Hist\u00f3ria: The Untold History of Latinos<\/em>, wanted to delay the premiere until 2024 in solidarity with the striking unions, Variety <\/a>reports.<\/p>\n \u201cBesides that, on the general audience content side, we really didn\u2019t have any impact. The fact that we were not really impacted by the strikes, we were ready for this moment,\u201d PBS exec Sylvia Bugg<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n So, PBS fans can breathe easy that new shows are still coming.<\/p>\n In fact, a lot of their 2023 TV shows have already been renewed. Only one is awaiting a renewal and cancellation decision, and some fan faves, unfortunately, have come to an end.<\/p>\n Keep reading for the full renewal\/cancellation recap\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n
