This week on The Real Truth, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist John Archibald joins Tommy for a closer look at the controversy surrounding Alabama Public Television and its future relationship with PBS.

Archibald recounts what he witnessed firsthand at a meeting of the Alabama Educational Television Commission and shares his concerns about how the commission is operating. He and Tommy discuss the selection of a firm to survey public opinion, questions surrounding the commission's decision-making process, the potential consequences of ending APT's longtime affiliation with PBS, and what Alabamians can do ahead of the commission's next meeting.

The next AETC meeting is September 29th, 2026 at 10am in Huntsville at the Space and Rocket Center.
