Finally watched. I'm impressed, its not easy trying to deliver news and not do it the standard or msm way. It would be boring if it was like regular news shows.

OK so the girls are a bit rough around the edges when presenting and reading from cue. But hey, they are not professionals, probably not getting paid and have had no training. However, I have to say that listening to an English accent is very reassuring, I just find it to be more credible and believable regardless of how ´good´ or ´bad´ the pronunciation is.

Does anyone else know what I mean? I'm laughing to myself as im sure Brits might agree that when you here an American accent reading the news I think of films, TV shows and high drama, like Fox and CNN, they make it to surreal to be true!

I mean no offence and I obviously don't base my opinion of truth on accents - I'm positive the BBC dramatises and spins their stories too!!!!

Anyway back to reality, for pilots I think they are good, you can tell that this show has the foundation to grow into something that could be very good before too long.

I would like to see maybe some more live interviews and eventually to having some field reporters and specialist topic guests/members too.

Thanks ATS, Ashley and Julie and best of luck with your adventure!

I think Ashley and Julie did a fine job on this second 'beta episode' and I tip my hat to both of them. It's evident that your both getting a bit more comfortable with being 'on-camera'.

I think many folks (and members alike) have to keep in mind that both these intelligent ladies are presenting themselves to the public without any prior broadcast and/or 'in-front' of camera experience reporting the threads/news (as the membership supplies it to us on ATS). It's not an easy task to look in a camera lense and act naturally when the information is not your own to speak about. We are a membership-driven website when it comes to information and news, and they are simply relating to us (the best they can) that information that "YOU" (the membership) provide us with.

And I'll add that both of these ladies are as smart as can be when it comes to the varied genres that ATS offers for digestion/dissection. So in my opinion, I'd rather have someone delivering to me the information I'm interested in than say someone that is a paid 'talking network head' that doesn't have a clue of what their speaking about.

So in summary let me say that I couldn't be prouder with what they've presented to us. It takes a lot of "gumption" or "moxie" to put yourself out in the public's eye for the sake of a website one loves or cares about!

KUDOS GIRLS.. I envision each show just getting better and better.

Nice work! I'm a fan! Remember you'll never please everyone. I think you have enough of a fan base to keep these coming. If people don't like it, they don't have to watch. Can't wait to see your next episode.

Also ATS producers.. thanks for that very informative, but sad story on the mustang horses.

Morpheas

Much better episode then last one. The most problems of the previous "test" episodes are gone like the nervousness body movement. Actually it improved during the second episode, so i guess its clips were filmed in same order as presented

Good work.

Its entertaining but not something ill continue to devote time too.

Sorry girls, I'd get into detail as to why but it's not constructive to your continued production.

I gave it a shot but overall thumbs down here
