Please e-mail me at wheres_kenny@hotmail.com if you have any suggestions for question of the week. Thanks!
With the recent publicity of Dean and his inventions, and shows on tech TV and other stations about the competition, FIRST's recognition is bigger than ever. But it still not enough considering how much recognition high school sports teams have. With that in mind, here is the question of the week...
Questions 12/08/02: Since kickoff is coming up, what publication or television show would you like to see cover FIRST in the following season?
Also, consider the recent event of FIRST leaving Disney… How do you think that affected the publicity for FIRST?
Peace out,
Ken L =P

It's been awhile since I answered one of these. Now in all fairness, we do have the NASA channel. Of course, almost no one gets NASA TV, so we need a better answer. ESPN was good when they covered it, but chances are, we won't see that again. That also rules out Disney or ABC. If FIRST were to get publicity from TV, it'd have to be accessible to everyone with a TV. So we have to go to the network channels. Now I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want to be related to FOX, so they're out. Not every area gets UPN or WB, so they're out too. That leaves NBC and CBS. And since NBC runs more "less noticible" sports (i.e., the Gravity Games), I think they may be the perfect place to go for publicity. Now, odds of that actually happening...
