Upcoming PBS Broadcast<br />
USJA<br />
MRS JUDO is being offered for PBS broadcast in May of this year. May is Asian Heritage month.<br />
CAAM (Center for Asian American Media) is offering it. The states and communities with Asian populations will most likely program it, but<br />
the tough sell is in the midwest and the south and areas with limited Asian populations.<br />
I would love some help with this. If you could put out a message to your membership (I'm guessing it is all over the US) and request letters<br />
and emails to their local PBS stations. Any judo list-serves and other ways to reach the community that wants to see this. This will hopefully<br />
encourage the PBS affiliates to program the show. I've been told that they need to be personal notes to the individual's local affiliate and if<br />
they had a reason why they want to see it, that is most persuasive.<br />
Thanks!<br />
