"Gas Planet" airing right now.
Co-produced by http://AlleghenyFront.org/ and Innovation Trail.
(Need some research into who funds Allegheny Front)
The whole premise of the show is that if you are an environmentalist,
you should WELCOME the shale gas boom.
SAY WHAT!!????
First listen:

Take notes about how may times you hear "clean burning", "gas boom"
and "shale millionaires", "cheap gas", how often the narrators speaks optimistically
about "the shale boom coming to NY sooner rather later" etc.
compared to how many times you hear about risks.
Then, call and complain: 607.729.0200.

While you are talking to them,
tell them you want 2 things:
1) LIVE UP TO YOUR CLAIM that you are "Public Broadcasting"
and PROVIDE SOME MECHANISM by which local, independent community producers
can get content on the air. "Public Broadcasting" without the public is FRAUD.
2) Specifically ask for the Shaleshock Media show. We are presently working on a series of broadcast-quality HD investigative video and event videos which are highly relevant, and just the truth, no bullshit.
