Done:)

Done I told them that I've had enough of their home buying and selling. That they needed to change their line up and bring back the quilting shows. I never watch them anymore because they don't have anything to interest me

We have voted with our pocketbook by disconnecting any cable or satellite TV providers. I did go to the HGTV site and put in my 2 cents because the removal of many needlearts shows made what was left not worth the expense. More money for fabric!!

It's worth a try but they've never been responsive in the past ...
Our guilds and bees here had lots of email campaigns, when Simply Quilts was cancelled years ago, and there was very little response. I contacted HGTV numerous times about SQ and other cancelled shows, and never received more than auto-reply.
Can't understand their marketing or how they miss the big fact that Quilting is a 3+ BILLION $$$ industry ! We are NOT little old ladies just making scrap quilts in our rocking chairs !!
I rarely watch HGTV and wouldn't even have cable except DH loves his sports and the History Channel etc. I don't care to see 50 copycat, junky remodel or silly real estate shows, mostly set in CANADA !! They've even crowded out the gardening shows. I don't think a lot of viewers are aware that most of their programming is Canadian. How about the big old USA ? :roll:

good idea, I am tired of elaborate houses for sale, and gourmet cooking shows, lets have some ideas that are usable, in our interests. piecefully, the old one

I don't see an address for HGTV. I will write them but also write to their sponsors and tell them you will quit using their products.

I just sent mine in. I didn't even know they had a show on about quilting. I hope they bring it back.

On Dish RFD carries quiltinaday and BYU has Fons and Porter

It was Simply Quilts with Alex Anderson, they cancelled it about 5 years ago I think ... and nothing else since :(
