| 664.1 | Framingham has done this also... | STUDIO::COLAIANNI | I have PMS and a handgun ;-) | Wed Nov 24 1993 07:06 | 13 |
| This has also been done with the Framingham shelter for the local
Framingham area Cable channel. One of our volunteers just happens to
have her own show on cable every week!
I think she has done a couple of shows at the shelter, and I believe
every cat she has ever shown, has a new home! Not sure if it was the
program or not, but they are all in homes! 8-)
I don't get the Framingham station, so I never actually saw the
program, but I heard it being taped at the shelter one night. Sounded
good to me! ;-)

| It is a very good idea...and the Pat Brody Shelter is in the
process of working with our local cable station to do a special
by Christmas. (it will be shown on Channell 29 in the Fitchburg/
Leominster area) I believe the first show will feature the
shelter, our programs, and a few of our cats. The folks at
the Cable company are hoping it goes over really well because
they would like to start doing a regular series.
I'd love to see it turn into an education program and get our vets
involved...but also an adoption program to find our kitties new
home. Gee...someday maybe we'll be featured on David Letterman!!!

| 664.3 | Good Luck!! | ISLNDS::URBAN | | Wed Nov 24 1993 07:56 | 11 |
| This is great... I think some people really get suckered in to get an
animal after they see how sweet and beautiful they are on tv. It gives
people a chance to see them and hear a bit about the situation they
came from and whether or not they'd be good with children etc. And,
because most people are too busy to make that special trip to the
shelters, they can find a pet just by viewing. I really hope this
helps all of the shelters finding homes for the cats more quickly.
Good Luck!!!

| Sounds like "home shopping" for a kitty - maybe we can start our
own home shopping network for kitties and crafts!!

Could somebody tape the show mentioned in .2 for those of us who don't
get Fitchburg/Leominster cable channels? I'll even provide a blank
tape...

| No problem Len...I planned on taping it myself and I can let you
borrow it and you can figure out how to copy the tape! (okay!!)

No problem with two VCRs...

| 664.8 | How about other local acces channels? | USCTR1::ESULLIVAN | | Mon Nov 29 1993 06:29 | 9 |
|
Could the videos be available for other local channels...like HOlden?
I don't know how this works. I'm pretty dumb in this area. But it
seems to me like this type of information is educational and perhaps
local channels would like to show a tape or two .... or a series?
I would be willing to find out how to do this in Holden.

| Eleanor...I think it all depends on how competitive local access
stations are. For example...we will be working with the Leominster
Access station (CH 29)....but our video will not be shown on
the Fitchburg Access Station (CH 36). Both these stations are
with the same cable company. (go figure!!)
The PB shelter originally wanted the "special" done before Thanksgiving...
but the person that is coordinating this...just ran out of time.
Hopefully we can get it done right after Christmas.
Sandy....
