    Alright folks. I'm sure you have noticed that Ireland Offline have started to get a bit more media attention. Most, well all in fact, of this has been radio and print. We feel that now is the time to move to a new level, TV. We have held off on this so far as it is the hardest to get on. Now is the time because we can point to all the things we have done on radio and in print to show them that we are serious and that other people take us seriously.

    I have spoken to a reseacher on the Agenda show on TV3. I explained what we were about. He seems quite interested. I told him that January was going to be important and we would like to be on a show then. What we need the members to do is start to mail the agenda programme to show them that people are interested. We don't need threats or scary mails, just the facts.

    I also tried to contact the Late Show put they haven't phoned me back yet. If anyone has any other ideas for programmes that we should be on let me know.

    Could there be a feature here for Prime Time, something along the lines of "The E-hub of Europe - Ireland's modern myth" ?

    Probably not enough for a full programme, but certainly enough for a feature within a programme IMO.

    Another possibility would be to get Question Time to include something the next time there is a government announcement, asking them to have someone from IOFFL on the panel.

    RTE did have a consumer affairs programme a while back but it was cancelled :(

    Donegalman, funny you should mention that but it falls exactly into Prime Times sphere of interest. Much more so than the late late. We have an avenue of approach here which is being worked on but it would be very helpful if anyone else could help with prime time.

    Post here or PM me or Pudding if you can help

    Hopefully they'll see this as an opportunity to get one over on RTE...

    Don't give up on the Late Late. For one thing, these kind of debates have happened on the show before... for another, it's got the biggest viewership out of all the shows you mentioned... and that'd be a vital bonus.
