Hi All
Long time no post,
I was talking to one of the regulars at our fuel station last week the lady concerned works for the beeb & she told me the BBC wouldn't be interested in showing any angling (we got round to fishing because her husband is an angler) programs because there's not enough call for it & the heads of programing don't believe it would be viable as there's no call for it.
BUT....
I was informed that the head of BBC 2 is a woman & is usually open to ideas from the public/viewers but she will only pay attention to ideas for programs if they would be of interest to both male & female viewers (there's a growing number of women anglers)!!
After spending sometime mailing & phoning Dave Webster of maggotdrowning.com he kindly agreed to set up & also set aside some space on the website for a petition.
All i ask now is you pass this link on to as many anglers as you can, this is not about "hits" on a website but about getting angling back on terrestrial Tv where everyone can enjoy it. (webmasters/ site admin if possible could you please send the link out to all your registered members??)
There is a space on the petition for you to add your own "bit" no one will beable to see your name,address etc as they are sent directly to another page which is viewable to myself & Dave only.
As i have already said please pass this link onto as many people as you can & if you know an angler who hasn't got net access then please let them use your computer as it is really a case of the more the merrier.
Thanks for all the replies & for being so patient with me while this was all brought together.
The link for the petition is below.
