    • Abstract:
      PITTSBURGH -- Nationally, it may seem that in the seven years since Fred Rogers's death, the legacy of America's favorite neighbor has waned. After all, two years ago PBS stopped offering his show, ''Mister Rogers' Neighborhood,'' to its member stations every weekday, offering it just once a week, though it allowed stations to digitally stockpile them for daily viewing. Then, last year, PBS quietly stopped allowing stockpiling, meaning there are no stations showing it daily. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
