Subject: ATK cancelled in Philadelphia?
Does anyone know why WHYY (Channel 12, Philadelphia) has replaced ATK with Fork in the Road with Eric Villegas (http://www.forkintheroadtv.com)? I have contacted WHYY, but they have not yet replied. In the meantime, while Michigan is lovely, I'm not that keen on having my beloved ATK pulled for, "a Michigan based food show that celebrates the diverse food heritage of the Great Lakes region." PA is quite nice too, but I wouldn't want to watch a series based only on what it has to offer.

That's terrible!

Do you get WLVT-TV 39 from the Lehigh Valley? ATK is on at 2:00 PM Saturdays.

No, I wish I did. At one time it was also on NJT (Channel 23), but I'm not sure about that. Plus, that channel is fuzzy at my cable-free house. * sigh *

I'm hoping that it's just on a late summer hiatus -- unlikely as that is.

In case anyone in the Philadelphia area cares, I finally heard from WHYY and it doesn't sound promising:

"Thank you for your message. I apologize that your original message was not responded to. WHYY is airing Fork in the Road now because the America's Test Kitchen has run it's full season. We have shared your interest in America's Test Kitchen with our producers for consideration."

I did respond with the question of whether ATK would be back with the new season. Call me a pessimist, but I suspect not. However, I would like to be wrong this time (and I generally hate to be wrong).

I wonder if ATK has raised their price. Our PBS affiliate used to carry it on the main station and then they moved it to Create and now it's not being aired at all.

It's great that ATK played once or twice in January, but ever since then they have been running fundraising programs...I think this is the 5th weekend now...unbelievable! We don't get Cooks' Country either. Does anyone know when these fundraining weekends will ever end? I think seeing David Foster 10 times would aggravate people into NOT giving. I wand my ATK and Cooks' Country!
