Most of these guests your interviewing are outside of the MSM world because they are too controversial..to either side of the isle.
However, MSM has interveiwed people of this extreme before. For example, the best ones I can think of would be Stitchen, Hoagland, Freidman, and even
public enemy #1 during Desert Storm...Saddam Hussein (CBS w/Dan Rather).
I enjoy the programs. I think they have potential. Enough potential to break out and do some serious competition with the MSM.
In order to to that tho, and to be fair across the board, and completely neutral as all documentary/interveiw programs should be, the program content
needs to have a balance of both prospectives.
Plus it wouldnt hurt to speak to your company attourneys about setting up these programs for syndication on other media outlets. That gives more
exposure outside of the ATS forums and iPodcasts. And as any director or producer of a program knows, exposure means more audience, which means more
ranking, which means more dominance.
Having the ratings numbers based on repetitive audience count doesnt put the program up on the top 5 list or even top 10. The only way to achieve that
is to break the show out into the world byond ATS forums and iPod....that is...if the program is ready to take on MSM in a real way.
Basically the shows and ATS are sitting on a gold mine...hope its not wasted by limiting its potential.
Cheers!!!!
