41+ min ago (466+ words) Arkansas PBS on Thursday severed ties with the PBS network, a move that will take shows like "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" and "Antiques Roadshow" off the air for tens of thousands of viewers. The decision makes Arkansas PBS the first statewide public TV system to break from PBS since Congress voted this summer to strip $500 million in annual funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which backs TV and radio stations across the United States. The loss of federal funding has put enormous pressure on the public media system, sending stations scrambling for ways to fill big budget gaps. The Arkansas Educational Television Commission, which oversees public television in the state, voted 6 to 2 to disaffiliate with PBS, citing concerns about the cost of membership since the recent loss of federal funding. Arkansas PBS is also changing its name to Arkansas TV....

Provo LaVell Edwards Stadium Utah USA, EDITORIAL USE ONLY PUBLICATIONxINxGERxSUIxAUTxONLY Copyright: xRobxGrayx 20251003_szo_gb6_0434 Is there something up with coaches from former UNC head coach Mack Brown's coaching tree today? Jay Bateman, who perfected his DC craft at UNC for two years, just accepted the Kentucky DC job, ditching the Texas A&M one. Now, one of Rich Rodriguez's assistants, who was the RBs coach for UNC from 2014 to 2016, has done the same, joining an SEC team, currently in its rebuilding phase. "Auburn is expected to hire West Virginia running backs coach Larry Porter, sources tell @CBSSports," reported CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz on X. Notably,…...

4+ hour, 35+ min ago (637+ words) Dec 11, 2025 | 10:48 PM EST Ryan Silverfield's success at Memphis has now landed him the Arkansas head-coaching job in the SEC. Despite that, and setting his past success aside, the new HC's comments make it clear the coaching offer took priority. "I've always had so much respect for the state of Arkansas, for the football program, the rich traditions and history, and obviously the SEC," said Silverfield during Thursday's appearance with Paul Finebaum. "And when this offer came about, it was a no-brainer to me." This eagerness to leave the Tigers suggests the Arkansas job was simply too tempting to pass up, even with the Razorbacks coming off a rocky 210 season. Coaching in the SEC may bring more fame than coaching in the AAC. While the Razorbacks' SEC stature and history certainly played a role in attracting Silverfield's attention, the move serves…...

Wing, a former Republican state representative, took the helm of the agency in September. "Public television in Arkansas is not going away," Wing said. "In fact, we invite you to join our vision for an increased focus on local programming, continuing to safeguard Arkansans in times of emergency and supporting our K-12 educators and students." PBS confirmed in an email Thursday that Arkansas is the first state to definitively sever ties with the broadcaster. Alabama considered similar action last month, but opted to continue paying its contract with PBS after public backlash from viewers and donors. Arkansas House Democratic Leader Rep. Andrew Collins called the demise of PBS in Arkansas sad. "It's certainly a loss…...

6+ hour, 47+ min ago (409+ words) Dec 11, 2025 " an hour ago Arkansas identified its top target for its pivotal general manager position earlier this week under new head coach Ryan Silverfield. Today, Silverfield's Razorbacks are getting their man. Multiple sources tell FootballScoop that Gaizka Crowley is departing the University of Arizona, where he's been G.M. for the past two years, to take over the general manager role in Silverfield's inaugural Arkansas staff. The move continues one of the more remarkable ascents in college football's ever-burgeoning personnel space. Crowley was pried away from Taylor by then-new Arizona head coach Brent Brennan. The Wildcats capped one of the best turnarounds in Power Conference football this season when they won nine games and earned an invitation to San Diego's Holiday Bowl. Silverfield is the new leader at Arkansas following his strong success at Memphis. He faces a stringent rebuild at an…...

6+ hour, 51+ min ago (1707+ words) In a decision on Thursday that upended 74 years of precedent, the Arkansas Supreme Court killed one of the few remaining protections for direct democracy in Arkansas and gave the state Legislature the green light to undo any constitutional amendment initiated and passed by voters. This is not hyperbole: with today's opinion, the Supreme Court has guaranteed that, even when Arkansans manage the Herculean task of collecting tens of thousands of signatures and jumping through the myriad hoops Republicans have placed in the path of a constitutional amendment reaching the ballot, the Legislature can simply change or reverse that measure with a two-thirds vote of each chamber. Medical marijuana, which was authorized by a 2016 constitutional amendment passed by voters, could be made illegal. The Legislature could ban casinos if they wanted "or add more casinos besides those authorized under a 2018 amendment....
