What's worse than a week's worth of public-TV pledge breaks during kids shows to push parents to go online and buy $40 tickets for a fundraiser featuring a Barney concert?

Going to WTTW.com and finding no link or event listing for the Aug. 24 event. Turns out tickets don't even go on sale until Monday, despite taped warnings all last week that it threatens to sell out.

An angry inquiry to the station Monday finally prompted an apology and moved WTTW to list the "Fun and Run" on its Web site event calendar, but it shouldn't be that hard to give Channel 11 money.
