RE: PBS MOTORWEEK TV
« on: August 26, 2009, 05:01:33 PM »
Just wanted to let everyone know that Motorweek did an interview with me last month.  It's all about bringing the Camaro back into production and they spot lighted my '67 Z28 survivor.  Craig Singhaus did the interview and is local to my area, Maryland.  Show will air on Oct 10, 2009.  I have no idea how everything turned out as I have not seen the finished product.  It was a long day of shooting when they were here.

I would have preferred them using the new 67 Z28 race car and a 10 second pass down the race track but that's not what they wanted.

Looks like it won't be shown in my area. :(
Heaven forbid it bumps 'The Lawrence Welk Show'. ::)

    Unfortunately it appears that none of the PBS channels available to me in this area of Canada have any listings for Motorweek for this weekend - or any other timeframe for that matter.
    Speedchannel has a Motorweek listing for this Saturday morning, early though, and I will tune in to see if this is the same program as it appears at least name-wise to be. With any luck it will be and with some more luck maybe the programming will be current with yours in the US and it will be carrying your interview.
    Sucks to live here in Canada sometimes as we get such crap for TV viewing especially with regards to motorsports.  Faithfully and constantly we are fed garbage such as Pimp My Ride, Liv'n the Low Life, and Monster Jam, but we have to tune in days later in the middle of the afternoon or night to watch any of the previous weekend's NHRA drag Racing - go figure.... Guess it's so our wonderful Canadian TV content isn't going to be threatened?! No wonder TV signal stealing is such a big business in Canada... The Canadian Radio and Television Commission isn't bright enough to understand that we as Canadians are interested in stuff other than just what goes on or is produced in Canada in french or homey CBC programming and that they have created the problem and are making it worse...
   Thanks for the 'heads up' Jerry
