Remember, this is the Canadian Discovery Channel; that's the one that actually has a daily science news program.

Aww! Once again I am denied a recordable, mailable way to explain to sponsors what exactly we do. Do you know of any upcoming US media coverage on the nationals?

Re: Discovery Channel Coverage ! Greater Toronto Regional!!

It's always cool to see FIRST get recognition on television. It's a bummer that its only gonna be seen in Canada though.

I'm not sure if this is linked to the filming in Toronto, but I did notice a TV film camera around the FL regional which I believe was linked to Discovery (thought I saw one of the guys wearing a Discovery hat). But, as far as I know, we haven't received a e-mail from Discovery.

Darn it! I was hoping we could use some of it in the video we're working on...

Being close to the border has its advantages now and then, eh?

I haven't visited that part of their site in years (they called the show @discovery.ca, rather than Daily Planet, back then). But it appears that yes, they now have links to videos numerous segments, dating back several years, here. E-mail them to get permission to use it for your team's promotions.
