Onboard Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Does anyone know why New Yankee Online is not posting “new” videos? The video “Nest of drawers - Program #812” is now in its 5th week. They have been changing to a new program number every Friday. Program #812 is an end of the 8th season video, which means they have 16 more seasons of videos to post. I sent them a message but never received a reply.

jimmykx250 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Wow I thought i was the only one that noticed. But I didnt send them an e-mail. As much as I hate to admit it ill bet they arent getting enough traffic and they are jumping ship. Sales cant be keeping the cost of the website afloat.

Onboard Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 You’re probably right Jimmy. I would guess they saw an opportunity to hopefully sell lots of their NYWS DVD’s and Plans. As much as everyone enjoys watching and learning from Norm building things, it seems it’s ultimately all about the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric. Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 You’re probably right Jimmy. I would guess they saw an opportunity to hopefully sell lots of their NYWS DVD’s and Plans. As much as everyone enjoys watching and learning from Norm building things, it seems it’s ultimately all about the money. It's PBS...they gotta make some money somehow. I wish they'd just play NYWS, Woodwright's Shop and Antiques Roadshow on a loop...they can keep the rest. Well, except for a little Charlie Rose and a Ken Burns special.

jimmykx250 Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Im kind of suprised they dont play norm re-runs on tv. Dont tell me they wont get viewers I dont go for that. I often wonder what norm was bieng paid to do that show. Talk about a lucky guy just in the right place at the right time ya know? What puzzles me ( and no offence to roy underhill) but how could that show be doing any worse or better than norms? Do you reallly think he has the same viewership? Just wondering out loud.

mikem Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I watched every week as well, and am disappointed they have stopped posting new videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
