      No, often the authors send along questions, those get relayed to us, and 
in some cases, as with Keyes first book, they get referred to JPL which then 
answers 'em.

                                                                    jms

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      No, you can't do a series to video, it has to be aired.  And DTV is 
considered a poor man's venue, for stuff that couldn't make it elsewhere.

                                                                    jms

John,

>>DTV tends to show up at 2 AM on the "Premium" cable channels with TV MA 
ratings and no plot.<<

Not always true.  Disney have launched a couple of videos that way (sequals to 
theatre releases, such as the Lion King and Aladin), but I have to admit that 
I haven't watched any of them!

      Those are one-shots, very different than a regular series.

                                                                    jms

 [ Summary: Suggests taking Crusade to The WB Network. ]

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      WB Network is out of the question, due to the way WB is structured. It's 
a very long, corporate story, just take my word for it...SFC is the best 
option for us.

                                                                    jms

 [ Summary: Asks if the change of network will affect what network shows
   Crusade in Canada. ]

      No, it should have no impact on that market.

                                                                    jms
