I think PBS would be a great option. Perhaps a simulcast on NPR (National Public Radio) would also be appropriate since most of the content is spoken word with little dependence on visual aspects.

Seems to me Joel is willing to work on the cheap and that is one of the requirements for public broadcasting, right?

As for him being annoyed – well, I think he’s got a reason to be. Did you see the first story on this?

Yes, these shows have value. As I understand it, the ratings for this show were fine, especially when it followed Chris Matthews. But moving it around was a problem.

I don’t know that PBS is an option.

Also, from everything I read, Joel sounds a bit annoyed, if not bitter. I understand having one’s show axed is painful but still… Pros pout in private.

The local political show here in Columbus is on PBS… Seems as if there are just too many other network shows to compete and too often these local shows fancy themselves to be a local “Meet the Press” but aren’t (on many levels) and the rating show it.

Although not widly watched I still think these local political shows have great value so a venue like PBS or perhaps a much earlier time slot would be better… I used to watch via TiVo, never when it was on (that is how I watch all the Sunday shows)

Golly gee, really? I – am – shocked. Wish I had a show to feature my clients too.
