WQED announces new cooking marathons
February 11, 2013
WQED-TV (13) will air two new cooking programs in the QED COOKS series over the coming weeks.
Cookbook Favorites VI will air this Saturday (February 16) from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The program will feature favorite recipes from past marathons including Gifts From the Sea; Grandma’s Kitchen Wisdom; QED Cooks 100; Picnics and Bar-B-Q; and The Cookie Table.
Firehouse Cooking will air on Saturday, March 2 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. The series is inviting firefighters from the viewing area to send their favorite recipes for consideration. Chosen recipes will be a part of a new cookbook and eight firefighters will be chosen to appear on the program.
Huh? So WQED announes the cooking marathons now? For years, years, they just take the home shows slot and dump the cooking marathon in that time slot and never re-air the missed shows. Have the home shows moved to the 10:00am slot again? I used to donate to WQUD, but after the fat people doing the cooking were on the channel every weekend, that donation had stopped some time ago.
Oh, wow! WQED doing EVEN MORE cooking marathons?!?! Whoo hoo! Can’t get enough of the cooking marathons AND the doo-wop specials! I mean that most sarcastically.
This is one of the moments where I’m glad I live in Morgantown. I get both the Pittsburgh and West Virginia public broadcasting stations, and the WV PBS station is heads and tails above Pittsburgh’s station. WQED should take a note on what WV PBS does regarding pledge drives and keeping costs down so they don’t have to do these incessant drives.
I stopped donating to WQED and started donating to the WV PBS station.
