HR669 local news contacted

cenobite74 Apr 16, 2009 02:46 PM

So I contacted my local FOX affiliate a week ago and today they contacted me saying they were very interested in the story after doing some research. They wanted to talk to locals in my area about this so with permision I gave them the contacts of some "mom and pop" exotic pet stores around here as well as the breeder that runs our states reptile show. Hopefully something to help get the word out better. And hopefully a positive one as well.

That's great news. We need to get the news out to the public and the only way is to do it through mainstream media. Let me know if I can help in anyway, Brian(BHB)

Do you think it would be best if I could convince them to get to the show Sat? I'm going to keep pushing regardless I just hope they think it's a good enough story to persue further.

Maybe if one of the big breeders or anyone has a contact that can spread the word to Ellen Degeneres maybe she can help. She does have her own line of pet foods. Just a thought.

Thanks,
Isaac

No updates. Sent the guy all the contact info he wanted. Called and left messages to make sure he got it. Haven't heard anything. I'm not in the media so I have no idea how long it takes to get a story together or who decides whether it news worthy or not. I mean it's Huntsville, AL. We don't have a whole lot going on here anyway. Frustrated.....calling him again.

I just got your phone message you left last night. I have gotten all of the stuff. I have not even had an opportunity to research the idea yet. It is going to be a story for next week, so I will check things out this weekend and be in touch with you early next week. So far, I have been interested in what I save received. Thank You
