RootsTelevision.com Will Close On March 10th
Megan Smolenyak has posted the following announcement:Dear RootsTelevision.com Viewer,
It's with mixed feelings that I'm sharing the news that I will be closing RootsTelevision.com (RTV) as of March 10th. Back in 2006, RTV was launched to fill a void. As I wrote at the time:
"We've been perplexed for a long time. These days, there's a horse channel, a wine channel, a sailing channel, a poker channel, a guitar channel, and even a shipwreck channel. So why, we wondered, isn't there a channel servicing the millions of people interested in genealogy and family history?"
The good news is that this yawning gap is now being filled. Genealogy is finally going mainstream. Some of you are probably already watching Faces of America on PBS and The Generations Project on BYU. And many, I'm sure, have heard of the imminent launch on NBC of Who Do You Think You Are? (a series I'm proud to be affiliated with, and for which, I wrote the companion book). The non-genealogical world is finally waking up to the long overlooked potential of what we roots-sleuths do on a daily basis, as you can read in this article: Roots TV Becomes New Branch of Reality TV.

Well it is sad that the show is going away but you have to be kidding me comparing "Who Do You Think You Are?" filling any gap short of stars with already over sized egos!
What is wrong with a genealogy program format that talks with the common man? it would seem apparent that anything short of a TV or film star is nothing but boring. It's hard to believe that the Brits have wasted three years watching such a boring program. I always thought they (Brits) had were much more demanding of such an important subject.
