About 300 union cartoonists in Los Angeles say they plan to picket KCET-TV, LA’s PBS affiliate, to protest what they claim is increased use of Canadian cartoons on public television. The cartoonists say their jobs are being lost to Canadians “This is sort of the last straw that PBS is giving tax dollars to foreign companies,” says one animator. But a PBS spokesperson says: “Of 17 children’s programs on the air at this point, I believe three are produced in Canada, and none of them have any federal money in them.” – Los Angeles Daily News
