A few days ago, DMc posted a monster think piece on Ten Things That Would Make Canadian TV Better.

I think it should be published in Playback. It's not their usual thing, but it's what people read in the Canadian industry, and the piece is so good, they ought to be able to spare the space.

Here's what I wrote the editor:

Dear Mr. Dillon:

Every now and then I read something on the Net that really deserves to see a wider audience. Denis McGrath has been saying some really insightful things about Canadian TV -- the business, the audience, the process -- that all of us ought to take to heart. He's written a particularly brilliant post in his blog here:

I think you ought to consider publishing it as an op-ed piece in Playback, or possibly even inviting him to write a column.

Thank you.

All the best,

Alex Epstein

If you agree, why not drop Mark Dillon a nice, polite note, in your own words, and let him know?

I'm in. I could go into a diatribe about Playback is one of the things wrong with our industry, but I'll wait and see if they publish Denis first.
