If the local station doesn't carry this program, then calling the station
and talking to the program director about this program (its value and its
audience) may help to get it on the local station.  I found PBS stations
very 'friendly' since they get much of their funding from the viewers of
their programs.  I don't know how Canadian [CBC] or British [BBC] stations
take to 'suggestions.'  To those trying to 'influence' their local station
into taking on this show, knowing who (which PBS station(s)) produced it
may help in 'locating' it.  Since I'm not in the S.F. area, I'm not aware
of the show's producers.  With this show, will Madhur Jaffrey become the
'Julia Child' of Indian Cooking?  How does her cookbooks compare to those
of any other author of Indian cookbooks (in being able to get the results
with whatever instructions that are given in the book)? Any good cookbooks
on Indian regional dishes?
