Hammer-

The OSB was not taped last year by public TV, as it had been for many years. My understanding was that a change in personnel brought forth a new programming specialist who ousted OSB from the budget for last year.

Undoubtedly it is missed by many dancers...but more importantly this was a blow to US dancesport in general as it was a great community outreach for dancesport among non-dancers! Some cable stations...oxygen, WE, lifetime, good life...still show some dancing...and I understand that some local stations on each coast do coverage as well.

We can only hope that KCPT gets plenty of complaints about losing dancesport coverage. And, I'm sure that Sam Sadano is not content to let it just slip away...so keep your fingers crossed for Sammy

I imagine they'll go towards next year's comp. They may not have been able to air it this year or last, but they haven't given up on televising it yet.

No PBS taping was done. Curious to where all those donations went to though.
