Mark,
You are right on several accounts. The equipment for DTV production or even better HDTV is rare and expensive at the moment. We should concentrate on getting any coverage we can. WTTW (producer of the recent Wildstang story) is planning a DTV production in Feb. in which we have to put together a temporary control facility and use cameras borrowed from a manufacturer to make the show happen. We currently have no digital transmitter (as most PBS stations are not reguired to have yet.) and very few people in our audience have receivers.
We would like to see more coverage of FIRST events, and perhaps even the finals at Motorola Midwest Regional, Northwestern Univ. but have no commitments as of yet. With your help we may be able to convince management that there is a huge audience out there. If you have seen the video please write to WTTW (viewermail@wttw.com) and let them know. Theoretically, folks in western Mich, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin see WTTW on their cable systems. Rebroadcast is Sunday 1/28/01 at 6:30 PM CST for anyone interested.
Good luck to all and see you soon.
