try contacting the station to see whether funding had anything to do with the change. if they had to drop it for lack of money, you might consider coordinating a fundraising effort to help them get it back on the air.
This is exactly what I was gonna say. We just had the legislature cut our PBS funding in half. The station released a statement saying they would have to cut their program line up because they will be unable to buy the programs. They really focused on the kids educational programming they would be forced to cut.
