I noticed this recently as well. I use a tv capture card on my PC to record
the shows, and for the last 2 weeks (including 2 weeks going forward that
they let you search) when i search for "new yankee" I get zero hits. I'm in
southeastern CT - and have a PBS station, but they only made it through the
first 2 or 3 new episodes this year (as far as I know) before preempting
them for fundraising. It really is pathetic. I've had 2 or 3 15 minute
discussions with the CT PBS program manager expressing my displeasure to no
avail. Even when I lived in Boston I dont' recall the shows being broadcast
exactly when the NYWS website said they would be.

As others have said, part of my disgust is with the NYWS itself for
continuing to gouge people that want to buy their videos on a per episode
basis. Getting digital video made into DVDs costs next to nothing on a per
copy basis, so there is no justification for charging the ridiculous price
they charge for a 30 minute show. But they have a captive audience and they
don't seem to care about how many DVDs they sell - I've sent repeated
messages to them inquiring about this with no responses at all.

Oh well, life goes on, I've learned about as much from Norm as I can anyway.

Just read on the NYWS website that it is official, HGTV did NOT
renew their contract to show the older NYWS episodes for the new
season. Guess that leaves us at the mercy of the idiot fund raisers
who run learning the piano or some "motivational speaker" over the
NYWS scheduled shows begging for donations.

Don't know about you, but if they would run a NYWS marathon during the
pledge/fund raising they would get MORE money more often from this
woodworker. Right now the local PBS has pre-empted the Sunday
schedule for fundraising, causing folks to miss 2 of the new season
episodes
