+TotemLake Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 During Geowoodstock VIII, PBS was in the Seattle area making two documentaries involving Geocaching. The first, Brain Fitness: Peak Performance has already broadcast last December. This is just a heads up for those of you that can get KQED, the next one is Treasure Trackers and is scheduled to run on KQED. The posted schedule and synopsis is: Duration: 1:29:00 STEREO TVRE Learn about the exciting, adventure-filled game of geocaching. Often described as "high-tech hide-and-seek," geocaching combines puzzle-solving with technology and exploration. Throughout the program, viewers meet different players from around the US on their journeys to discover hidden treasures, or caches, and visit some of the stunning sites where caches are hidden. Channels and Airdates: KQED 9 Sun, Jun 12, 2011 -- 10:30am Tue, Jun 14, 2011 -- 7:30pm Wed, Jun 15, 2011 -- 1:30am KQED Life Sun, Jun 12, 2011 -- 10:30am Tue, Jun 14, 2011 -- 7:30pm Wed, Jun 15, 2011 -- 1:30am KTEH Sun, Jun 12, 2011 -- 1:30pm ...now if I can only get a schedule for my local area.

+michaelnel Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I had not read this announcement so I didn't know this was coming, but last night I bumbled into KQED broadcasting "Treasure Trackers". I thought it was really well done, they even visited a San Francisco cache I have been to (Grateful Dead House). Quote Link to comment
+TotemLake Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) LennLee Keep, the producer of the show, sent me a copy of the DVD and I just received it yesterday. Interviewed on the program which was hosted by Tyler MacNiven (Tylerasaurus Rex) were: PnD MonkeyBrad Hydnsek TotemLake Old Hippy and Granny Viatru Love Moonweed Tentha Team Fat Fox - pkacolorado, bdalex, lifeisgoodgirls MondoU2 and Mrs.MondoU2 Dayspring erick88l-r MrGadget2 There are lots of cameo shots from GW VIII and the Ape Hike WSGA hosted. Filming did occur in and around the Seattle area, San Francisco and other locales. There is bonus material on the DVD to add to the very well done program. If this program hasn't been scheduled for your market area, you gecocachers should start a letter writing campaign to get the program into your local PBS schedule. PBS needs to hear from their viewers what they want to see. Edited June 26, 2011 by TotemLake Quote Link to comment
+larryc43230 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 TotemLake, So far, anyway, my local PBS station hasn't scheduled it. I have seen an 8-or-9 minute trailer and liked what I saw. Do you have any idea whether there's a way to purchase a DVD of the program? --Larry Quote Link to comment

+Ambrosia Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I want to see it, since I was there. But I don't get tv. Hopefully I'll see it someday. Quote Link to comment
+FickHump Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 It is slated to air in the Denver, Colorado area on September 11 4:00pm, channel 6 (KRMA - DirecTV). I'm can't wait because one of my caches makes its television premier! WooT! Quote Link to comment

PBS needs to hear from their viewers what they want to see. But I have spent decades trying to convince the local PBS station fund raisers that I do not have a telephone. I can't go calling them now.
