Alabama Public Television is using a form letter signed by its fired executive director in a fundraising campaign. The statewide network recently sent a letter to past donors bearing the name of Allan Pizzato. Commissioners fired Pizzato in June, a decision that preceded a wave of resignations by other leaders of Alabama Public TV.

- Public Television Program Schedule
This was the television schedule on all three United States commercial television networks for the fall season beginning in September 1970. All times are Eastern and Pacific, with a few exceptions, such as Monday Night Football.
New fall series are highlighted in bold.
Each of the 30 highest-rated shows is listed with its rank and rating as determined by Nielsen Media Research.[1]
- Yellow indicates the programs in the top 10 for the season.
- Cyan indicates the programs in the top 20 for the season.
- Magenta indicates the programs in the top 30 for the season.
PBS, the Public Broadcasting Service, was in operation by October 1970; however, schedules were set by each affiliated station.
In April 1970, Congress passed a law banning the advertising of cigarettes on television and radio effective January 2, 1971.
This season would be the last one for the traditional 3½-hour prime time schedule.
