[Lvlug] Want to get on TV anyone?

[Chris]

I'm currently in contact with an individual who fought & obtained air 
time on a cable TV station for a public interest style show. He too is 
interested in the technical problems and hurdles we all face, and as 
such I'm talking to him about possibly doing an appearance at some 
point. Preferably I'd like to see if I can get others involved from the 
LUG though. We would likely talk about things like DRM, open source, 
open formats, GNU/Linux etc. This is an excellent opportunity for the 
group to expand interest in Linux.

The show is aired on channel 8 at midnight and covers issues of 
corruption, taxes, lawsuits, etc. Anything of public interest basically. 
He does allot of what main stream media doesn't. I'm not yet sure how 
far the reach is exactly but it airs on an Patriot Media station that 
serves all Patriot Media cable TV customers, and I'm about 45 minuets 
from the location where it starts and Patriot Media covers 31 NJ 
communities. So it is apparently pretty wide. This is out of Mendham, NJ 
which is about an hour and a half from Allentown.

I don't know much of anything about how we would get on the show, but I 
think it would happen something like this. We'd arrange a time & date to 
drive out to Mendham, NJ. The show would then get recorded and it would 
be passed on to the Patriot Media guys to get aired at a midnight.

If anybody even thinks they might be interested let me know and I'll 
start CC'ing emails to people.
