 |
|
Good news from Morgan Stack in Ireland.
I received confirmation today that RTE have scheduled Loose Change 2ed
for Saturday night/Sunday morning February 11th 2007 at 12.15 AM. i.e.
Quarter past midnight.
The time seems to have been chosen in order that the documentary gets
as few viewers as possible. Nevertheless, we have come a long long way.
Most recipients of this email will have seen Loose Change by this stage
– but the TV showing is great for those (primarily older citizens) that
won’t sit in front of a PC monitor. Alert your Aunt/Gran etc.
I’ve already been contacted by one journalist preparing a feature to
coincide with the broadcast.

Malcks - well done for asking Channel 5.
They've been saying that since we began asking them.
I've no idea about copywright law, but it does make you wonder how all those other countries have managed to broadcast it on TV, including, as we've just heard, RTE Ireland in February.

Hi, as many of you know I posted a thread earlier in the week, bemoaning Irish State TV (RTE) planned screening of Loose Change. I and some other Randi folk e-mailed RTE. with links to some of gravy's articles, internet dectectives, screw loose change etc. I explicitly said I didn't want the film censored but I thought it would be reckless of RTE to screen the film without putting it in the broader context, through a disclaimer, or a discussion program preceding or after the film.
Today I recieved this response
-----------------------------
Your email of 24 January has been forwarded to me. I am responsible for the Programme-Makers’ Guidelines, the complaints processes, etc. Thank you for the information you have provided about the programme “Loose Change”. Our Programmes Acquisitions people who purchased the rights to the programme were aware of the controversy that surrounds many of the claims made in the programme. Their view was that the screening of the film with a suitable introduction which would place the programme in context would be of interest to viewers and would contribute to the debate around the events of 9/11.
I know that you have not requested that the programme be censored or removed from the schedule. However having considered the additional programming that might be required to place “Loose Change” in context RTÉ has decided that these cannot be justified for a programme with a transmission at around midnight and which is likely to be viewed by a very small number of people.
We have decided therefore not to broadcast “Loose Change”.
If you want to discuss this further please feel free to phone me.
Best wishes
----------------------------
Boys take a bow, you all earned your NWO paycheque today, we just need to figure out a way of getting Irish taxpayer money out of Do over's hands.
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to re-register on loose change forums, post this info and get banned. |

Morgan has just replied to my email about this. Heres the reply from RTE.
Morgan,
RTÉ has decided not to transmit “Loose Change” on 10 February. As a
third edition of “Loose Change” is being prepared RTÉ has deferred any
decision on transmission until we have had a chance of seeing the new
version.

haha, KICK ASS!
By the way, cant they show it cause its the most talked about and most watched thing on the Internet ever? Its getting into the papers onto other TV Articles/Stories etc, etc. They can still say at the start that this is not the most accurate, however its the most popular and even give reference to Screw Loose Change for all I care, as long as they say at the end that The Final Cut is due soon. |
