Re: Discovery Wings Channel ???

[Bush]

I do like "working wings", gives a little more insight on folks who
fly for a living. Been watching this ever since we learned to hack
satellite in the 90's.

Have a great one!

The only reason the Wings channel is there is because of all the people that
bitched about and loved all the Wings episodes shown on the original
Discovery.

I thought it was a little strange that all of the coverage that was done on
the SpaceShipOne flight was shown on the Discovery Science Channel.

If Discovery: Wings was really wanting to serve the aviation community they
would be brodcasting live from EAA Airventure for the entire show instead of
the 1 hour show they run months afterwards.

They don't even cover the AOPA show.

Well you have a response! that counts for something. Right? I have now
deleted the Discovery Wings channel from my channel line up as of Today. I
am tired of the same old programs and the 50 year old soloflex grandmother
commercial.

Thank you for contacting Discovery Wings. We appreciate your interest in
our programming.

We premiere many shows in the beginning of each quarter (Jan, April, July
and Oct). Typically, the Fall season (Oct - Dec) has more premieres than
other quarters. Many viewers ask us to repeat programs so that they can
enjoy watching them more than once, or in case they miss a show. You can
obtain complete scheduling information for all of our networks at
discovery.com.

We hope this information helps and we hope you continue to enjoy our
programming. Thanks again for writing.

Sincerely,

Ben

Yeah, whatever Ben. I'm sure there are lots of viewers out there that want
to see the same old stuff over and over and over and over. Yep.
