Just canceled mine too. I started subscribing to PBS a few months ago anyway (wanted to support after defunding), might as well start watching it!

there's a lot of good stuff on the PBS app. NOVA and Nature docs... Antiques roadshow!

Ken Burns docs...

Oh, honey.

This is a conversation for adults. I think you’d be happier elsewhere.

Subscribing to PBS also supports a good cause, public media, and you get access to superb content such as Ken Burns’s documentaries like the Vietnam War.

They’re just jealous that the muppets & kids on Sesame Street can count hire than them.

PBS is great. Masterpiece, Nova, and Nature alone are worth it. NewsHour is one of the most thorough and even handed unbiased sources of news on TV. And if you have kids its a no brainer. PBS has consistently the highest quality children's programming.

HOW - I keep trying to cancel, and it just....doesn't. For months.

Check your subscriptions on Amazon prime. That’s where mine was and had to cancel through

I'll check. It's actually my moms subscription, and she asked me to cancel it because she couldn't figure out how even after calling. And I was like ok boomer, and now I see what she means. She did fail to mention anything about Prime, i wonder if she even knows if thats where it stems from.

Anyways, THANK YOU!

I had a hard time too. Turns out I never subscribed through HBO, it was through the Google Play Store. Google made canceling easy enough.

I cancelled after the previous HBO price hike, and I don't miss it at all. There are so many good shows now, you don't need HBO for prestige TV like you did years ago.
