Don't touch that dial.....

[Bill McElroy]

Well,...I told you I'd make an announcement when the time was right, so here it is!! FINALLY!!



Action Performance and Scales and Tales have signed a 3yr deal with OLN!! They (OLN) are going to animate up to 9 of my characters and use them during their weekend fishing programs starting in May, 2005. We are having a conference call tomorrow to go over some of the program's specifics, etc,...but this is what we've been working so hard for, for the past several months....a major media outlet for national exposure!! I'll be able to say more as things get finalized, but we'll all be able to see "Scales and Tales" finally come to life this May on OLN.....so don't touch that dial!! (They'll probably be used primarily for lead-in's and short narration's at first,...to introduce the upcoming shows etc..etc...but as they gain exposure and hopefully become more popular over time,...they could very possibly end up with their own 1/2hr show,...but we'll start small and go from there!!)

Anyway,..thought you'd like to know!!



Stay tuned,...and carry on!!

Time is on your side Mac !!



Last week in the morning I watched one of those shows on ESPN.They have their new logo brown and white bass (I think ?)fish and wondered what and then why? I would much rather see your guys up there. They must have missed the boat!

That's beautiful news Mac . But never a surprise.

[Bruce Freeman]

While I was thinking about voices, I also got to thinking about themes? Redneck vs yankee's..hip hop or rap, 50's,60's,70's NY vs TX... For that matter let Fish Fishburn do them all just to pee on Disney..

Mac, that is fantastic my friend! Can't wait to see my son's reaction -- he walks around the house all day with his "Scales n Tales" picture frame - no joke, he loves it!

Great deal Mac. Glad to see things keep moving upwards. It sounds like you are just about to the point of needing someone to negotiate those high-dollar deals for you. That's what I do if you need someone.



Good going and keep it up!!

[Texas Transplant]

Very nice. Now the question. Does OLN still have fishing shows??? Used to be I could find fishing shows all the time there, now hard to keep abreast.



Nothing but best wishes and successful promotions of your work.

[Dan J.]

Fantastic news buddy!! I am switching today to Direct TV (from dishnet w/o OLN) and now I can say I have a very good reason for the change! I'm (we're) proud of you and sure hope you remember us "little people" when you're looking out your penthouse window!! (LOL!!) Keep at it. You've got a lot of folks and their respect behind you every step of the way.



Good things really do happen to good people!!!!

Congrats big dog.



That great news was the final straw, my two (2) rods with the original art work done by none other than the Famous MAC will now hang on the wall. At least until my wife beats me with them, then I will put them away some place else. Great news, ride the wave and enjoy.
