Fisher's ATV World was to originally appear on TNN. I spoke to Brian Fisher a few weeks ago ( I live 3 miles from his shop) and he told me the show will be on The Outdoor Channel starting in june or july. The original deal with TNN fell through according to him because of TNN increasing their airtime fees. He seemed very upbeat and positive about the show and mentioned several major sponsors with more looking to sign. I guess we will all know in a few months if it will happen or not.

I believe you're talking about Fischer's ATV World. It's highly doubtful in my opinion that the show will ever happen. I've heard that they don't have the money to make it a reality. I know for a fact that they've stiffed people on payments for things they owed money on. And I heard several large advertisers pulled out of the show.
In my opinion they have an uphill battle and don't seem to be taking the high-road in their business dealings. Word gets around in those situations....

I wouldn't expect someone trying to sell a product to say anything different. It all has to sound upbeat in order to build support.
In my personal opinion, I seriously doubt a show will ever materialize.

Shak,
I said all I'll say on the topic and I assure you it was carefully worded that way for a reason.

Shak,
You didn't come across like that all all. It was a fair question! I generally try to back up opinions with facts but sometimes I can't say everything I'd like to.

I didn't hear wrong. I have facts that you're not privvy too. That's all I can say.

LEP7MM,
I wish that would work! We started charging $3 for a classified Ad. Seemed to make good sense if someone could sell items and it only cost $3 then they win and we win. Know what happened? People said, "go to ebay and sell your stuff." So what it came down to was our forum members and readers would pay ebay $3 to sell something but were not willing to pay us for the same service--even though it supported an ATV site that was trying to do good things for them and ebay does nothing for them. It really taught us that our readers will enjoy the site for as long as its free but if we need to collect a buck or two then forget it. I don't mean to sound bitter, I'm not. Just relating the facts of business on the web. For people who appreciate our service, the best way they can show appreciation is to buy from our preferred vendors.
It's good people in the world like yourself that make everything worthwhile. Thanks for showing your support and the good thoughts.

There was talk about a show coming out a while back...It was supposed to be starting soon on TNN. I haven't heard anything else about it though...have I missed something?
On the bright side, the last ATV TV episode at least had some riding footage in it.

Thank you all for the info...Didn't know I was opening a can of worms.
Regardless of the details, I can only hope that we do get a fresh new "upbeat ATV show that we can watch.
I don't know the details, but if these guys can bring us just that, I wish them the best.

I say with the work that dbeck has done with this web-site, he should start a membership here in the connection adn use the funds for a "new show". I would be the first to sign up.

dbeck-
im not bashing you, but can you give a reason for you statment, something more than your opionion and "you herd"
Dbare stated what the man had said. And I see your POV on "selling" the show so he would only be positive or upbeat to gain support for the show.
Im just looking for facts.
again Im not bashing.
Posted by: ShaK
thats cool- I take it there is a bigger picture hear.
I really was not bashing in any way- nor did I mean to come over like an a$$.
Truely unintentional, Like I said I was just looking for facts

I live about a mile away from them. I actually bought my one quad from them and buy parts from them and I've never had any problems with them. Last I heard they were just now receiving money back from the sponsers for filming their first season. I also signed my 2 quads up because they're looking for people to ride, so they take some footage for their show. Dbeck, I don't know what you heard but, you heard wrong!
