NPR a site for a vast variety of American public radio programs; news, talk, interviews, education, comedy, music to name a few. It's the only English Language news that I both trust and am not put to sleep by. Give it a try.
Sesame Workshop One of the finest children's educational programs in the world. Great for learning English. Adults, too!
American Public Broadcasting System This is the American non-profit television network. They produce and show a wide variety of some of the finest programs for children and adults.
Nickelodeon A high-quality cable/satellite children's network. Animated and live-action. Mostly commercial-free. Interesting for all kids and adults as well.
Rose Is Rose is a particularly charming and well-drawn comic strip.
Sky PerfecTV! Bring the English world into your home. Get Sky Perfect TV. The more people get it, the better it gets. Not a lot of commercials, but only because not many companies are buying ad time on satellite, yet. I'm a fan.
