Goodly snowy morning all.... Smiley

We got lots of snow in the night and it is still snowing... Smiley

Well I got ripped off last night as I posted in "Patchz" thread "Training Film" in the above General Discussion Forums.

Flying Wild Alaska was not viewed here as advertised on the Discovery Channel... Tongue
Something else was on.

We checked the computer and television guides to see if we were wrong but too my knowledge it was supposed to be shown. 

I can not even find a listing for it.  Roll Eyes

We also noticed that Ice Pilot's is not on the Discovery Channel either, apparently it is on the History Channel now...what gives?

We wonder if our cable network "Cogeco" has things mucked/messed up?    Roll Eyes

The two programs we would like to see now seem unavailable to us...college boys... Roll Eyes     Tongue      Lips Sealed

Hope those that saw the program Flying Wild Alaska enjoyed it... Wink

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

I couldn't get it either Doug. I'm on Bell satelite. The Discovery site lists it showing again Sunday at 11:00 am, but my TV Guide lists something else.  Tongue
Maybe my 110$ a month for satelite tv isn't enough to get the good shows.  Huh

Edit: It's not even listed as a show on Discovery channel.Canada.

Hi Steve... Smiley

I think the networks screwed up.

Ice Pilots for example has the hightest ratings of any show, yet it say's it is on the History Channel.

It was on the Discovery Channel so I wonder when that happened?

I have my phone, internet high speed and television with Cogeco and they are usually very good.

Hope they get it all straightened out and put Flying Wild Alaska and Ice Pilots "Buffalo Airways" back to back.

We are not much on watching television short of maybe the news as way too many other things to do in life than sit in front of a Boob Tube... Roll Eyes      Grin

Dang Doug, that's tough. I'm sorry you did not get to see it. Maybe they will get things straightened out and you will get another chance. But I know how you feel, there a number of programs I would like to have seen but can't get.  Sad

The show was okay. I don't really like shows of this type becuase they make everything so overly dramatic: "Can this proffesional pilot take off from this runway or will he be stuck on the ground!!!???" I wonder which it will be.  Roll Eyes

Cool

Your version bodes better with a single casualty at Unalakleet versus the complete removal of a remote villiage -- no wonder it was named Atqasuk.
