This is posted in General too, but wanted to make sure as many people see this as possible!!! It's a travesty!!!

Read from bottom up.......

IT IS TIME FOR ALL PENNSYLVANIA LYME PATIENTS AND FAMILIES, FRIENDS TO CALL THE PA CABLE NETWORK!!! 717-730-6000 [Mad]

- unfortunately since the weekend is upon us it may be best to wait until MONDAY MORNING.....AND FLOOD THE STATION WITH CALLS!!!!

Here are people you should ask to talk to!!!

*** Brian Lockman, President and Chief Executive Officer [email protected]

**** William J. Bova, Vice President, Programming
[email protected]


Things that make you go "hmmm"...........4 FULL days of programming and only 2 programs get pulled?? [confused]

How interesting that ALL the others were fine technically to air?......the other one that was pulled, was the program right behind ours, which would make sense the schedule "has to fit" for the spaces allowed.

THINK ABOUT IT.......THESE PEOPLE ARE EXPERT and film ALL DAY LONG at the capitol in every conceivable room,.....they can do with their eyes closed. [bonk]


Our friends however at Pa Environmental Digest already posted the testimonies of all speakers. Unfortunatley you just don't get to SEE all the body language, and HEAR the inflections in voices, or SEE/HEAR/FEEL tears and emotions that were so palpable..

PA Environmental Digest website

My email response form the t.v. station:

From: PCN [mailto:[email protected]]
Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 8:31 AM

To: 'Gail Sheffer'

Subject: RE: Revision in Schedule??

Thank you for your inquiry.

We apologize for any inconvenience however there are technical problems with this program and we have deemed it unfit to air.

--PCN

Can you please explain why the quick change in scheduling for Monday Nov. 19th?? I received a daily email at 6:13 p.m. tonight that indicated the 10 a.m. slot on Monday would air the Pa Lyme bill session that took place today.

Now at 9:17 p.m. the schedule is changed andit is off the schedule entirely. Do you have a projected date to air??? There are many Pa. citizens that already were advised of the original schedule and will be expecting to see this on Monday at 10 a.m.

Thanks,

Gail Sheffer
York Lyme Disease Support Group

IT IS HARD FOR ME TO SWALLOW THE EXCUSE WAS A LIGHTING DIFFICULTY .....that particular reason was found out by our legislator's staff member.

IT FEELS AS IF OUR TESTIMONY WAS HIJACKED [shake]

PLEASE CALL......THERE ARE TOO MANY OF US THAT ARE SICK.....WHY WOULD THEY PULL THE SHOW?? [confused]

Unless the doctors who opposed us have connections to the station and had it pulled? Have we seen things like this happen before???

YES.....WE HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. One of the ILADS docs who testified forwarded this "event happening" to the ILADS board and the MMI board; so that the other docs will know!!!

here's an idea. They sell copies of their programs. Maybe you could get one even though they did not air it...Just a thought. Then you could see for yourself if they are telling the truth or have someone putting the philips to it.

Know anyone that works at the studio? Maybe you could find someone that would talk to you about it. Good luck lmt.

Ali G,

Here's what I love - the replacements!!! Not that I have anything against them.

It's just we're not there any more!!...And I don't have a good feeling about it. They are pro's, the lighting was fine.....I had several folks input that were there.

Monday at 10 is now:
10:00 AM
PA Foster Care System
PA Senate Democratic Policy Committee

11:55 AM
Judicial Independence
Bar Association of Lehigh County

12:30 PM
Alzheimer's Awareness Rally
PA Public Policy Coalition, Alzheimer's Association

Gail ......

Maybe they cared more about impressing the Senate Democratic Policy Committee & the Bar Association in case they ever need their support?

Thanks for sharing the link to the testimony. It really is some impressive stuff! [Big Grin]

I hope you can get more support from other PA residents! [Frown] That was a really lousy thing for them to do.

Gail,
Hi, I called PCN and left a message, but got a return call from a lady named Roseanne, she claimed there were technical problems and it was unfit to air. She also said it was not filmed by them so couln't air it.

Some thing sounds a bit fishy.

I gave it a try, because I do watch them a lot and that just sounded weird.
