A: As a non-profit entity, your local public TV/PBS station depends on "viewers like you" to help keep channels , including Create, on the air. A few times each year, some Create member stations will pre-empt the national Create feed and insert shows - including some "self-help" programs - designed to encourage donations to the station. These membership drives typically last a week or so; eventually the station will return to Create's regularly scheduled programming. You can always show your support for the station responsible for bringing you Create by clicking the "Donate" button on CreateTV.com.
