I'm sure it kept his name and webpage in demand. Only Mike Kohl could tell us if it furthered his sales. The info he provides is priceless and as you say, it helped a lot of dish heads.
It would be nice if Mike Kohl could do his own show once a week. That would mean, he would not depend on other show hosts to be invited. He sure knows his stuff and has written great reviews on different satellite equipment. However, doing a show is a big commitment and takes a lot of effort and time for preparation. Not everybody has that time. It's a work of love! Unlike the analog days, satellite is not free anymore. It's bandwidth now and that costs money. $300 is a tough nut to swallow for some programmers or a group of programmers. I am surprised that satellite dealers haven't jumped on the bandwagon to support the cause. I think it's always easier to sell to someone who is already acquainted with the hobby. I talked to Richard Buckner from the FTA Satellite Show earlier this evening, He assured me that the show helped his sales and brought more members to his Yahoo mailing list. His show airs Saturday afternoons at 3 PM ET on Access America. Not really a prime-time spot, but it works for him.

Gary might have been reading newspapers, or Dean might have been playing music, But, when it came to Mike Kohl, people considered it his show segment a sort of show in a show. Mike has put a lot of labor into helping dishheads. I don't really think Mike is going to make any sales doing this, it is more an act of waving the flag so that people know he's still in there, plugging away, helping people. I don't know how things are going sales wise. Maybe that is changing? I know T & D have decided to take a few weeks off in an attempt to reorganize their radio station into something that pays its bills while still being a non-profit. But then again, the 300 bucks that has to be coughed up. I assume if the dealers don't get sales then the audience better crack open the checkbook. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
