BBC Launches Family History Magazine

That does it! I'm moving to England! Multiple genealogy TV shows and now BBC is even getting in on the publishing act! Check out this article about their Who Do You Think You Are? magazine that's to be a companion to the on-going series.

When will American networks, cable outlets and publishers wake up to our numbers?? If there can be multiple shows on tattoo artists, truck drivers, and fishermen of all types, where are the TV series for what's purported to be the second most popular hobby in the country?

Truthfully speaking, the lack of such programming is largely what motivated those of us who launched Roots Television, but I'm more than a little surprised that we're still the only ones -- in the U.S., at any rate.
