Speaking from experience with dealing with AP and Discovery, it's a very tough world. I can honestly say I'm not sure if they even know what they want to put on the air. Their directives change by the minute. One day they want one thing the next day they want nothing to do with it. I agree that it is always about shock value and ratings. Steve Irwin was great at both but also got his message out. People don't get that you have to shock or entertain in order to get ratings and then you can get your message out. The problem is that AP and most other networks are in a weird stage right now. The head of Discovery was fired a few months ago and things seem to be all messed up over there. We are trying so hard to get them to see our side, but it's a slow battle. Sending them e-mails and comments are a great way to get their attention. They want ratings and if they think their viewers are boycotting them they will listen. I for one will keep working with our people to get in there and hopefully have a show that shows the positive side of our hobby. Thanks, Brian(BHB)
