Should Dave Be On TV?
SgtRock:
Dear Dave:
--Go for it. Maybe Woz will see it and agree to an interview. It could happen. I also want you to do a simulcast with Leo Laporte, maybe after CDC. You are good enough, you are smart enough and doggonit people like you.

You should do it. But maybe ask for the footage. If they record it with one of those big professional broadcast cams, you could upload it as a very high quality Youtube video. And the best: you'll have your own cameraman. But I guess they don't want a full review, but just an interview and film some gadgets in your lab?
Once I heard from a retro fan who has a big collection of old video game and computer systems, that a camera team was there. They filmed for some hours, he explained lots of in-depth technical and interesting things, but the final broadcasted video was like 2 minutes, half of the time tracking shots of the systems and monitors, and a commentator saying some trivial things.

Demand that you get to see the final edit before broadcast, get that in writing to your lawyer before you even start. Also make sure you have a say in editing, you have to work on the premise that the editor and producers are total idiots, if there is anything technical that you say or do they will screw it up in edit. Time is of the essence with them and they will drop anything to get the time slot right.

Bound to be more interesting than the reality rubbish they transmit here in UK ... I only watch Prof Brian Cox, and Sir David Attenborough... oh and Red Dwarf !

Waiting for that on DVD, I did a go through of all the old shows in about a month. Bought the "only the shows" DVD set, otherwise known as a doorstop for a safe.
As to the TV exposure, go for it, it can do nothing but good, increasing the Dave brand. As said above get the rights to post it, and to have some editorial say, along with all rights to the unused footage ( in high def, you can use it to make an epic commentary track) and you will be golden. Label everything with the channel name and blog so you get free hard to edit out product placement, and wear an EEVBlog T shirt for the whole shooting, possibly in 2 colours to give the editor a heart attack for continuity.
