We just finished airing the show here in Michigan and throughout Canada!! My Dad called to wish us luck right before the show went live. "I'm watching it with your Mother and we're holding hands." At that point, I had to have my make-up redone because I cried mascara clear to my belly button.
My little sister, Talitha, worked behind the scenes and shhhh....my other sister Carol - who pens the Weight Watcher Diaries here on the site appears on the show. WAIT until you see her before and afters! She is super beautiful inside and out and has accomplished so much. I'm really proud of both my baby sisters. Okay, I'm gushing but I get to

Hmmm. My account shows that this transaction did go thru & the money has been deducted from my account in spite of the fact that their website said it was rejected.
Actually the deduction was just "pending" and it is no longer there now & the $60 is back in my balance.
Oh well. I guess I will just buy a money order next time I get out of the house.

MaryJo,
Mine isn't on the program guide either, but the local PBS network has already emailed me to tell me they will be airing it. Have you emailed them to ask? If you have, and haven't gotten a response, don't give up, just keep emailing them.
Blessings,
Lori

I am sorry some of your stations do not have plans to put the new show on. I saw Brenau put the email of her station on a topic column here. I have sent them a note and I think if we all send a note to the stations that do not want to put it up that we can make it happen.

Laura, don't give up....keep emailing them.

Life is like a roller coaster, with lots of ups and downs, but the curves, spirals, loops and corkscrews are what make life interesting.
Originally posted by kd: Your email requests to air the show pack power. Several stations have "changed their mind" and picked up the show. Don't give up! I think Tri girl said her station was going to air it. Aren't you in the same viewing area?
Unfortunately not. Our PBS station is in Akron : (
I'll keep emailing though!
Out of our beliefs are born deeds; out of our deeds we form habits; out of our habits grows our character; and on our character we build our destiny.
Originally posted by Bee: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm so happy for you that the new show finally got aired!
I'm so frustrated though that one state over, our channels aren't carrying it!
I wrote but never even got a response : (
I hope that the feedback where it was show will be so great that other stations will start picking it up.
Bee, I had to email twice to get a response. Don't give up....keep emailing them until they respond. They may just get so sick of hearing from you that they do air it! I've seen our local PBS station do that. WHen Julia Child passed away, some of the other PBS stations around the country did a weekend long tribute to her, ours wasn't going to, but i emailed them enough that they finally did air it. I had several friends that "were too busy" to email them about it, but I MADE SURE that after it was aired, that they emailed to thank them for airing a tribute. Julia Child was a PBS icon.....let's all make KD the next PBS cooking icon
Blessings,
