[quote=Brian Hill]We have been working the the ABC daytime TV show the Revolution

http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/the-revolution

to do a segment on oral cancer and HPV. While they only give a small portion of the show to any given topic, they are airing this segment on the 30th at 2PM on ABC. [/quote]

While it is already the 30th here I would not be able to get the show in Australia, so I am hoping that I can get to hear it later from someone's taping??

Lets hope they get it right! They havent involved OCF as much as I would have liked to see.

And scroll down quite a bit, you will see a square for "The Revolution" and you can view full episodes of all the shows. Hopefully it will include today's show on ABC at 2pm. So, it may not be necessary to tape it. Hope it works.

This is what I get Anne-Marie
"You appear to be outside the United States or its territories. Due to international rights agreements, we only offer this video to viewers located within the United States and its territories"

It's not up quite yet, usually they post that days episode a bit later on in the evening but I've always seen it posted same day.

By the way...my high school crush Toni Braxton is co hosting....I love you Toni...yes those were my tighty whities I threw on stage in 1996! That may have been an overshare...

OK, I watched the segment on my iPad, and it was alright, but wish that they had spent more time on it. Also wish that they had given a shout out to OCF. Oh, well, I guess any publicity is better than nothing. I am glad that they did talk about the dentist's role in screening, too.

I watched the segment, too and it�s good they got out the information they did. However, they rushed through everything so fast, I wondered how the audience could be expected to remember everything or anything. I know that on TV or radio they have to think in �sound bites� (minimum of sound, maximum of sense) but to be able to take in important information or to learn anything, all of the senses need to be involved, or as many as possible. I wish Jill could have been interviewed or at least Christine�s picture shown. Having a real person interviewed with care giving experience would have allowed for a much more effective �teaching� moment and people would be more likely to remember something more than just �oral sex�. It�s unfortunate that OCF was not mentioned.

I thoroughly agree, Anne-Marie, I kept thinking that I missed something, and went back and looked at it again. I also wish that there had been some pictures or some interraction with a real live person who is an oral cancer survivor. I was pretty disappointed in it.

I watched the segment too, and I kept thinking "they are afraid to say the word CANCER". It seemed to me they kept minimizing the cancer risk issue. I do realize that the "C" word frightens people - and as a new show they probably do not want to frighten their viewers. Too bad. It was rushed. Oh well - hopefully someone took note aside from the Choir!!

Kevin is going to be a part of "The Cure's" summer issue. They interviewed both of us several times and are supposed to be doing a picture in a few weeks for it. I truly hope they get all the medical stuff correct. I would assume they talked to way more than just us, but don't know any details. We didn't get to see the entire article, only our quotes so we could approve.
We are trying to spread the word here in Elmira too. Amazing how many people have no idea about HPV, much less HPV and it's relation to OC.
