Órla Fallon's Celtic Christmas PBS showings

[Starman]

    Just a couple of days until PBS makes the list of it's winter offerings available to its affiliate stations--then things will really get exciting!!

I'm placing a formal letter to KNPB Reno, Nevada in snail mail today. I plagiarized much of Zee’s sample letter.   Thank you Zee! To dress up the appeal I also included some eye candy... one copy of an Órla Card.   Thank you Bruce!  

I have high expectations for KNPB doing the right thing.  

(Although I'm disappointed in them airing Music of Ireland Welcome Home at 0400 hrs earlier this year.)

Glad you found the letter helpful, David. It's all about promoting our girl Orlagh!!

    Your letter served as the skeleton for my letter too, Zee!  Thank you so much for thinking to do that, facilitating our outpouring to PBS at this critical scheduling time and avoiding what otherwise would have produced some procrastination in some, total failure to act in others!

Hello Zee,

Not only is WVIZ in Cleveland going to show the special, but I received this from Robin today:

Hey Tom,

Not only will we be airing the new Orla Fallon show, she will be here in-studio!  The date hasn’t been scheduled yet, but please put the word out that we’d welcome fans to volunteer to answer pledge phones when Orla’s here.  If anyone’s interested, refer them to me and I’ll pass their names on to our volunteer coordinator.

Thanks!

If anyone is interested? IS ANYONE INTERESTED!!!!!!      That part cracks me up. Robin must have a great sense of humor. 

When I first saw your post Tom I thought, "man I would give anything to volunteer for that". But then I realized I would find myself listening only to Órla and not my callers!

I received word yesterday that the Local PBS station WCNY will be airing Orlagh's Celtic Christmas on 12/5. 
Yay Orlagh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just got some bad news. APT is not scheduled Orla's Christmas for November !
It makes me sick! I won't be able to see it !
My only hope is utube if someone post it.
I am so bummed out!

I got this response from PBA30 in Atlanta:

                    Hi, Joe!
                    We love Orla too at WPBA and, as you know, really enjoyed providing that special PBA Exclusive concert
                    with her last year at our beautiful Atlanta Botanical Garden! So, anytime we can have Orla back, we will!
                    I have a call in to her management already, and am hoping to hear back to see what we can do!
                    Keep your eye on our schedule after Thanksgiving, so hopefully she will be there!
                    Thanks for supporting, and watching Atlanta’s PBS station!

      Wow! Now that's my kind of reply!   Thanks for sharing it with us, Joel!  I'll wager from this that the folks in Atlanta are going to be treated to Orla's special--maybe multiple times!   

I guess that means I will be getting a hotel room in Atlanta just to watch the show.
Birmingham is not showing it !!!!
It would be great if WPBA had Orla as a guest on the night they air the concert!!!  Promote her Christmas CD !
Wishful thinking on my part!

I'm glad I live in Atlanta.

Thanks,

Let me guess...does his first name begin with a "T"?

Good for you ,Tom!! I must confess I might get a little distracted taking pledges with Orlagh in the studio! I have a feeling Robin will not lack for volunteers!!


Zee

[Thomas]

Thanks Zee,

Stay tuned!
