Hello Friends,

Here’s the situation:  Independent Lens usually airs on Tuesday nights at 11pm on KQED.  Charlie Rose is on right afterwards starting at midnight.   D TOUR makes its national premiere next Tuesday, Nov 10th and runs 90 minutes.  Because of the longer running time KQED IS NOT SHOWING D TOUR NEXT WEEK!!!  Charlie Rose is a popular show and they won’t start it later.  Needless to say I’m kinda bummed.  But before I go on I will say that D TOUR is showing on KTEH next week and on KQED Life.  But not everyone in the Bay Area, including me, receives these stations.  These are secondary stations, and there’s a lot of us who hope to tune into the primary station- KQED Channel 9 and watch D TOUR.  So, I am really asking for some major support here.  It will only take you a minute or less.

Please help us by writing or calling KQED asking their programming dept. to reschedule this important local story on KQED!! email: tv@kqed.org / tel: (415) 553-2135.

It is really important that each of these requests are unique from one another, each representing an individual voice.  If the station receives too many of the same emails then they will most likely not take it seriously.  However, if words totally escape you and you want to help, please consider the following to include in your email:

To whom it may concern,

I hope you will reconsider your decision to not show the documentary “D tour” on KQED. It’s an important story that needs to be seen by as many people as possible. Please find a place for it in the KQED schedule.

Please be kind with your email or voicemail if you decide to leave a message.  It’s not going to help us at all if these requests are filled with any negative remarks.  I can’t thank you all enough for your support with this.  I really couldn’t be asking for much more having a national broadcast next week, but to not have our film play on the main channel in our very own backyard just doesn’t sit right.

Also, if you feel like passing this on to anyone who you think would help us out, I would really appreciate it!
