The programming director of my PBS station appeared on the panel of a local sf
con, and he was bewildered by the fact that so few people watch Doctor Who in
Utah that the ratings service can't measure them, but that Doctor Who still
pulls in more pledges than most of the better-watched shows on his station.  He
said as long as the pledges keep rolling in, he'll keep running the Doctor,
even if nobody watches it.  Same goes for Blakes 7, which drew a lot of support
when it first aired here last year, but which nobody watches either.

Ob a.c.b:  Enough Utahns watch Red Dwarf that they can be measured (something
like a two percent share).  AYBS? is of course the most popular, and I pushed
for Black Adder at the panel, but the programming guy thought it might be too
offensive for this conservative state.

Somewhere I read the the major contributors to PBS stations are women
over the age of 55 (not, I would venture to guess, great watchers of
Dr. WHO.  Knowledge of that may be influencing programming decisions
at some stations.  Not here in Memphis.  We still get Dr. Who, and
War Files, the Civil War and lots of reruns of St. Elsewhere - but
no British shows except AYBS.  Not surprisingly, donations are low
here and the local station has the lowest level of contributions
from women over 55 in the country.  When will they get a clue?

If they've cancelled your Dr. Who, vote with your wallet.

As a respondent has already mentioned, the chances of a previously-unpublished
author selling a collection of short stories (and/or poems) for publication in
book form are extremely low.
 
However, it is a certainty that, if you don't submit them somewhere, no editor
or publisher is going to come rapping at your door asking for them.  I would
suggest a trip to your local library, where you should be able to find a
current issue of the book "The Writer's Market" or "The Short Story Writer's
Market", in which you will find a considerable amount of information regarding
the form and manner in which submissions should be made, and a fairly exten-
sive list of markets (periodicals, publishing houses and such) to which you
can submit your work.
 
Good luck.

Poetry. Imaginative literature, especially those forms in
which the medium of verse is used. The main types of poetry
can be classified into four groups; narrative, dramatic,
lyric and didactic. The type predominately used here is
the lyric style, of which the most important forms are the
hymn, ode, elegy, sonnet and canzone. None of these forms
were used. Poetic diction must be appropriate both to the
subject matter and the feelings and thoughts expressed. The
words are chosen not only for their meaning but also for
their sounds. The relationship between sounds of words is
one of the features most carefully controlled by the poet.
Devices such as alliteration, assonance and rhyme are most
commonly used, however none of these devices were employed.
Many critics believe that the excellence of a poet is 
indicated most clearly by the vividness and appropriateness
of the figures of speech he uses. The principle figures of 
speech used in poetry include the allegory, metaphor, and 
simile, of which none were used.

would this town put its refuse. Slums, I suppose, have there purposes. Th
keep the poor and pitiful out of the sight of those who are not. After awhile
one starts to think that they must be good. Why else would they exist in so
many different societies?. Every where I go there they are, garbage dumps for
the less desirable. Thou I have only been here for a few months it seems like
an eternity.
	I hadn't ment to stop here, but I had no choice in the matter when the
engines decided to go. It was necessary for me to evacuate. So here I am
trapped on a planit who's inhabitants haven't gotten past there moon. If
someone says that they saw an E.T. they are considered a crack pot. I would
certanly find myself locked up should I mention that I happen to be one. So
for the time being I must remain content to gaze upon the stars which were my
home. The only place I have ever felt comfortable is on a ship or space

of season has divined a necessity for bare knees.  This year, i am told, the
fragile air will continue to grow warmer, and our clothes will, accordingly,
continue to shrink, constricting our bodies and urging out our sweat, bile,
blood, semen; and finally the finer fluids.  In this house our three cats will
dip their tails into the runny palette of ourselves -- like eggs over easy --
and paint incredible landscapes.
