Regarding the Best of FMUP series ....

Hi Arielle,

One of the main reasons we decided not to submit a cable request for Best Of Frank Moore's Unlimited Possibilities for the new season was because of the new rule that states "no series programs with the same host may air more than once per day". Also, because the series would be cut down to 3 shows per week.

Originally, Frank offered to run the Best Of FMUP series because there was no programming through the night on BTV and we know that there are a lot of people who watch TV all night. It was a way to have programming on BTV every night.

We are willing to be bumped for actual shows, but we can fill empty air time.

Corey,

As Programming Coordinator, I personally feel that it is important that all producers should be treated equally. The new policies were written specifically to give all of us (including myself) guidelines on how programming will be scheduled. These policies are designed to promote fairness and equity among the entire membership. Nobody will get special treatment from now on.

I understand and appreciate the fact that you folks have provided BeTV with lots of programming. However, I must treat all producers equally – which means BOFMUP can’t stay on the schedule (as you have deciphered). I hope you understand. We’ll be finding new ways to deal with the empty hours of the evening.

Sincerely,

Arielle Elizabeth
