Why doesn't anyone ask Dataline to run a special on cars and bikes ?

I don’t think we’re going to get a program based on the interaction between cyclists, and motorists anytime soon. There is simply no interest, or money in it for the broadcasting station.

90 to one sez if such a thing were done it'd feature more negative/bad behavior on cyclists part and a few tongue in cheek remarks from "experts" Maybe a "ask the public" segment too.
If viewers are what a show is all about, and most any show on primetime is about getting viewers then it'll be a "documentary" designed to look informative and unbiased while appealing to the masses that found the Clear Channel tactic so amusing.

Anyway, any TV news magazine story on motorists and cyclists would no doubt be spun to the liking of the motoring majority that also make up the majority of the viewing audience, so the message is likely to be of the "cars first", "it's dangerous to cycle on the roads", "cyclists need to obey the traffic laws" variety, anyway. So no thanks!

News shows have car ads, not bike ads.

Maybe a reality TV show?
Challenge a few people to ride from coast to coast on a bike and record what happens.
I think this would be more interesting than watching people eat goat organs.
Maybe get Paris H. as a participant and see if she can get someone to fix her flat for
her.
It'll never work
