Welcome!The North Carolina EastEnders fan club consists of hundreds of avid EastEnders fans from across the state.We get together several times a year to share our enthusiasm for Albert Square. Join our e-mail announcement list!EastEnders leaving PBS in DecemberWe have sad news for all U.S. fans of EastEnders. The BBC has decided not to renew its contract with PBS stations airing EastEnders. This was a unilateral decision by the BBC, despite the efforts of our station and others to keep the show on the air. We wanted to make sure that there was absolutely nothing that we could do, before writing you. Unfortunately, that is the case, and we have to accept the unhappy fact that EastEnders will be leaving PBS. There are just five PBS stations in the U.S. that are currently broadcasting EE. Clearly, the BBC would rather drop that limited market and push fans to license their streaming platforms, such as BritBox, which shows the EE episodes currently airing in the UK. Of course, this leaves EE fans who watch PBS with a 10-year-plus gap of missed programming. We are sorry to have to communicate this sad news and that we can't offer a remedy. PBS NC will air the last available episodes on Sunday, December 12. Tonight's broadcast will include an announcement of the cancellation, between the two episodes and following the second episode. PBS NC has put together a webpage in tribute to the NC EastEnders Fan Club, and they will also recognize our group in the upcoming issue of the printed program guide, Centerpiece. We encourage you to continue supporting the station financially, in thanks for airing EE without interruption for over 35 years, and for all the other wonderful programming that we can still enjoy. Here is PBS NC's message to you: http://www.pbsnc.org/eastenders Next year will mark the 25th anniversary of the NC EastEnders Fan Club. We would like to celebrate in person, but hesitate setting any dates until we see how the pandemic proceeds in 2022. If at all possible, we'll organize a lunch and guest speaker. For now, just know that we're with you in spirit and share your sorrow at the end of an unforgettable era!
