Ed,
If you could get the station to put out a release on PBS Connect, other stations might get into the swing and cover other First events around the country. This is service to all member stations and several employees in each station subscribe.
It couldn't hurt.

PBS Connect

Sounds great. We are having a series of meetings with GPB and working to construct some other and longer pieces. As soon as we get that sorted out I'll ask them to push it on PBS Connect. It release will make more sense once we get a little bit more of this sorted out.

Thanks,

Ed

Just a tooting the horn. GPB just ran the show this evening. Next time is on Sunday. I was very pleasantly pleased with how it went. I can see if I can get a copy and clearance to post.

Ed,
Sometimes stations link to a segment on their website. I checked just now but could only find the show description. Your team is named in the description. Congratulations!

Al,

I just put the request in to GPB. As soon as I hear I'll let you know and maybe we can get some things rolling. The segment is forever in TV time, about 4 minutes.

Ed,
What a great video! It was perfect. It shows the students, the robot and talks about the team and your accomplishments. Congratulations and please send my compliments along to Georgia Public TV for a great package.
