Contact PBS Headquarters
You can let PBS know how you feel about Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood being removed from their syndicated weekday lineup. Here are some things to consider before contacting them:
1. An email is fine, but a personal letter, or postcard may be even better. You’ll find the appropriate mailing address below.
2. Be kind and express “the mad that you feel” in a constructive way, just as Mister Rogers would have.
3. Make it personal. You might want to consider relating a personal story of how Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood touched your life, or the life of a child you know.

Contact Your PBS Station
If the PBS station serving your area has dropped the Neighborhood program, you should consider telling them how you feel. Here are some things to keep in mind before reaching out…
1. We all share fond memories of Mister Rogers, but it’s important for stations to hear how the program remains relevant in the lives of today’s children and the people who care for them.
2. Ensure that you’ve got all the facts. If you haven’t been a regular Neighborhood viewer, don’t assume that your local station has recently removed the program. Check the schedule. While 63% of PBS member stations aired the program before the September 2008 programming switch, some haven’t aired it for a number of years.
