FLAME!!!FLAME!!!FLAME!!!


  I have just read another message in SF-LOVERS telling me how
wonderful public tv is and how nice it is that they bring us Dr. Who,
HGttG, and reruns of the Prisoner.  Telling me I should send them lots
of money so they can continue to do these wonderful things.  

  It must be nice to live in areas where this is true!  But here in
the intermountain west ( read Salt Lake City ) it isn't.  We have a
public tv station out here, KUED. it does not run Dr. Who, it has
never heard of Dr. Who.  HGttG? yeah they ran that.  All in one night.
Late at night.  On a week night.  With, I am told, 10-15 minutes of
advertising between each episode.  The Prisoner? you gotta be kidding!

  Please, next time you turn on your tv to watch the Prisoner,
remember that you are only a network away from parts of the world that
are not enlightened enough to run science fiction on public tv.

P.S.
  I have been told that KUED serves more total land area than any
other public tv station in the U.S.
