Go to Post Including the Kinect in the kit a parts is actually an evil plan. The programers are going to spend all their time playing with the Kinect. In competition the robot is just to sit there because it will not have a program. :ahh: - FrankJ [more]

You are absolutely right, but each network focuses toward a different age group with ABC focusing to the more general audience. Disney obviously focuses toward the wee ones and ESPN focuses toward the sports fans of any age.

Lets modify this thread and take it another direction:

Which type of network would FIRST fit with best?

1. The general basic channel that focuses on all age groups?

2. The channel that focuses on the young audience?

3. The channel that focuses on the sports enthusiast?

4. other
Very early in this thread, I remember it being mentioned that PBS would be a good medium for stuff about FIRST. I think that still applies. They definitely cater to people of all ages, though they are not heavily into "sports" in the normal sense.

Where PBS tends to be different from all commercial media outlets, is that they don't worry about every show being something that will appeal to millions in order to make money. If they did need a mass market for every show, they wouldn't have shows on, say, competitive ballroom dancing, which I suspect would have a fairly small following. Individual PBS stations should be quite receptive to airing shows on FIRST, especially if the show was produced by someone else, like FIRST itself. Most of the stations are very willing to air non-controversial productions which they don't have to pay money for.

The views I express here are mine, and mine alone, not those of my team, FIRST, or my previous teams.
