    I recently raised the possibility of authoring content for both 
    environments with certain WAP members in another TV forum and it was met 
    with a strongly negative reaction.  The TV Interest Group meeting you 
    reference below is from 2 years ago.  So, I guess I am curious if there is 
    a studio represented on this list that thinks there is value in this.  It 
    made sense to me, but it there was such a strong negative reaction, I have 
    since dropped it.
    
    Can a studio speak up on the desire/need?
