PBS broadcasts "Flight: the Genius of Birds" an Intelligent Design pitch-piece. Was it free to PBS?

PBS on some stations has been broadcasting an intelligent design pitch, an affectation of a science based documentary. but if you try to find it on the PBS web-site you can't find it except on the sites of one station Colorado PBS: http://www.cpt12.org/community/viewer_buzz.cfm?s=898&ta=1 There are viewer complaints registered here, but no program details are available.

Another PBS station, KLRU Austin, Tex, has a page for the show on their web-site which has nothing but a link to the organization who produced it!

I'm assuming PBS got the ID piece for free. They seem to be treating it on their web-sites as an advertizement.

There is plenty of free right wing propaganda if you're low enough to air it.
