So long, PJ, and thanks for all the fish — 12 Comments

  1. Oh – and I have been meaning to mention this on a post – and since this post is somewhat about things economical it might relate here. My PBS station come from Orlando. About 2 years ago they proudly announced they would be the first PBS station in the US to have a channel completely in Spanish – called V-me (pronounced V-meh). I found it interesting this hadn’t been launched in a market like LA, NYC, or Miami. But maybe in those markets they already have a goodly number of Spanish language stations available (here we have all four on basic cable) and understand the target audience is probably more interested in football (soccer), telenovelas, game shows, talk shows, etc. No different than the English speaking audiences. Anyway – since they launched V-me their fundraising programming has gone from a couple of weeks a year to an average of one week out of every four. And they keep showing the same darn programs every time.
    I guess the Spanish speakers aren’t watching and if they are they seem to not grasp the concept that they should have to donate to a TV station. Gee, maybe they think, “Isn’t that what commercials are for?” Seems to me they pretty well grasp the concept of the free market. Maybe better than we do.

  4. Neo, I’m surprised they haven’t made you one of their Xpress bloggers, assuming you’d take it. I am the smallest of the small of bloggers but your is a site of follow and read with relish daily.

    I started writing when Gerard was there and made it more like a magazine with all sorts of different and wonderful topics —even down to a great martini and the best coffee roasts. But since he left, it’s become much more political.

    I am sorry about this for a feel something has been lost in translation. But you’ll land on your feet and will go on to greater things.

  5. Ma’am, the tone of your site is inviting and your commentary is unique. I am certain you are noticed by advertising brokers or some other blogging conglomerates. If I am wrong, then perhaps you may have a great book shut up in your bones; your own Jeremiad. Anyone who has a photo of ballet shoes, The Last Lion – Alone, and Frost (and the apple) must have a great story to be told. If I have missed an entry detailing a book you may have written then my apologies for being behind the times. But I look forward to any book you write. God bless you and I wish you a great deal of continued good fortune, ma’am.
