Personally, I think that Exposure is a brilliant idea. I must admit though that I'm biased, I presented almost the exact same idea to PBS in 2001.Is it though, as Tod Maffin suggests the new Zed? The short answer is no. There are obvious similarities: for one thing they are making some of the same mistakes. The show is scheduled to be on at 11pm on Sundays - a time slot where it is virtually guaranteed that it won't find an audience. I can only hope that they have the good sense to podcast it (not part of it, or highlights, but the entire thing.)
Exposure is also far more limited than the original Zed. Zed was, after all, about film, animation and art and music and virtually everything independent, artistic and cultural so even in concept Exposure is shooting for a narrower audience.
I fully intend to watch the show (though not at 11pm on Sundays) and to do what I can to promote it, but I have a nagging fear that unless they podcast this, put serious effort into promoting it and give it time (a few years) to build an audience that Management will find the results less satisfactory than they found Zed.
