Default vette tv show

Has anyone ever heard of "The Vette Whisperer" ? its a new tv show coming out soon. The star of the show is Kim Ian Madsen. Kim not only was my best friend in high school, he was my roomate in college (wow 38yrs ago) and without a doubt the most knowledgeable vette guy I have ever met.
check out the website video and watch for the show in the next month

What station is going to carry the show? (I'm guessing it won't be Animal Planet)

I did some checking on his shop and found out that he and his shop were featured in a series on a build up of a 67 Corvette last year in Corvette Fever magazine.
Sounds like he has a great operation going there.

Sounds like he should get in on fabbing up some things for the LSx swap in a C4, and sell them to the public.

Hey everyone, I received a response via E-mail from the people at "The Vette Whisperer" here is what they said:

Richard,

We have agreed to a deal with Original Media the folks who produce LA Ink, Miami Ink, Storm Chasers, and a host of other highly rated and respected reality shows. As soon as more details are available we will announce them on the website. Shortly there will be some new clips available to look at on the website as well as some awesome cars.

Best Regards,
Gregg Suskin
Executive Producer "The Vette Whisperer"

here is an update on the show. there will be outtakes posted in the next day or two. I will let you know. Meanwhile, if you go to the link below you will see some press releases, and is also where the outtakes will be. Here is an e mail from Kim I ot today.
1 - we signed with Gregg Suskin and Original Media, LLC who did LA Ink, Miami Ink, Storm Chasers reality shows, and others per the attached; (I'l put this up on the website hopefully tomorrow);
2 - We're next appearing at the Sweethearts show (Desert Corvettes) on Valentines Day, Feb 14, 2010;
3 - Alan Colvin (Editor of Corvette Fever Magazine) is publishing our Press Release in the January 2010 edition;
4 - Corvette Fever covered our 1954 Corvette Roadster restoration, which gathered a Top Flite at the NCRS Regional, in this month's CorvetteFever Magazine (January 2010) under the title " The Joy of Six". (This car is also on the home page of CorvetteRestorationAZ.com, and I'll update the text there tomorrow to mention this) and add the article pdf to the website.
5 - Our 2010 restoration schedule is *almost full* now -- so encourage blog people to visit CorvetteRestorationAZ.com and call Nikki to get in the schedule -- or it may be 2011 before a full resto gets done by the VetteWhisperer!
