Actually, Mike, you helped make my point; horse racing has PAID advertisers on their streaming and some even take bets!! LOTS of money made there!! The horse racing industry is not exactly an altruistic business, nor should the GSDCA be!! Another question on these plans...why do I not get a free catalog, if stay-at-homes are going to?? To promote this breed, we must make money. We can't properly promote the breed, educate the public, fight ARista's, and grow the sport of dogs without money/income!!! Perhaps Animal Planet should pay us to use our National streaming, after all, they will make money from their advertisers when/if they broadcast it?? Or why don't they pay us to advertise on the streaming??

If done well perhaps someone like Animal Planet would pick up the signal Nothing better then showcasing the breed to potential owners/members/showfolks, I think the benefits far outway the cost in the long run. I love the idea of this and perhaps video on demand(IHorse Racing does this already) Regards, M ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
