[Nfbc-info] Petition to Get NBC to cover Paralympic Games as theydo Olympic Games

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

        While I just signed the petition and it is now up to 1569 signatures 
I think this will be a longshot at best as I'm sure like all other 
television program coverage is based on advertising revenues. Does the 
disability community generate enough clout and interest in the world as a 
whole to generate the appropriate level of advertising revenue to make this 
coverage profitable for the network?
