Don't despair though - talk about working against the momentum of the industrial machine! I love your concept of a community site for the sustainable food world. I am far less plugged in than you are, but I think (hope?) that it is a possible and even probable future development. .-= Jess @OpenlyBalanced´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/OpenlyBalanced/~3/R4udHhZorLg/" rel="nofollow">Conscious Living: A Love Story</a> =-.

It is even more sad because we know how important a show like that would be and you would be a great host. You are a very generous person and that is why this site was such a success. I wish you all the success in your current ventures:) .-= Ulla´s last blog ..<a href="http://goldilocksfindsmanhattan.blogspot.com/2010/01/much-to-do-about-grass-fed.html" rel="nofollow">Much To Do About Grass-fed and Social Media!</a> =-.

Consider online TV, as with all else, more and more people are moving away from "mainstream television" and embracing a more socialized viewing experience on their terms and not the production companies. It is my belief that television will, in a few short years, be undergoing the same strain that the traditional music industry is still fighting against; that is, a fan and musician base that is going around them to find each other. (Note Lady Gaga's free music; Time Warner's move into online media/TV; Hulu's burgeoning.) Some ideas are simply conceived before their time; yours is one. Never give up the fight for what is right.

This particular deal may not have worked, but the idea is fabulous. Let it rest a while, come back to it in a bit and take a fresh look as to how it might be reworked or what new opportunities present themselves. Can you film some short segments and post them on your blog or on youtube, which will then interest the television people? Can you make a low budget documentary which can then be a springboard for a program? This can work. The timing of the deal or the format or the people involved may not have been correct, but you and the idea are. Zach, it isn’t over until it’s over.

Don't give up! I believe that many of our voices together will be the only thing to create real change, so we all have to keep going. I am now going to explore the rest of the blog, and I hope you continue it anyway, regardless of a TV show. Cheers, Heather.
