Looks like UNC in Charlotte, NC is now airing episodes of The Wood Whisperer. If you are local, you might want to check the schedule here:
UNC TV Schedule
I will try to keep you guys posted as more and more stations are starting to broadcast the show. Unfortunately, of the nearly 70 or so stations that downloaded episodes, only a handful let us know if/when they run them. If anyone happens to catch us on TV, be sure and let me know!

TWW Now on TV in Charlotte, NC!
Congrats Marc!! Syndication! Syndication! Syndication! I would love to see you on PBS bro! I would set my DVR for some Wood Whisperer!
Nice!! You’re on our AppleTV here at home….but I know what ya mean.
Yeah, nothing’s gonna beat the HD version on the AppleTV. Definitely the way to go!
Fantatstic! Congratulations for breaking into yet another medium – and in a positive way ;)
when is the “TWW – The comic book” coming out? (I know this is just waiting to happen…)
curious – do stations that download your episodes contact you and inform you that they did/organized? how does that work?
See you Friday at 8:30
So how does it work?
You find them or they find you.
lots of woodworkers here. Roy Underhill building or has built a school recently. Some other schools in the mountains too.
Congratulations
We were invited to participate on a site called PegMedia.org. They basically provide a service for public access stations that allows them to download TV-ready web content. So I have to completely re-edit and re-format the videos and upload them to PegMedia. Then the stations just download whatever they want. Its pretty cool!
Saw ya last week on the UNCC channel. Was a pleasant surprise.
Sorry here at the library, very slow, didn’t think it posted. apparently I was wrong.
No problem. Also keep in mind the comments are all moderated. So posting may be slow depending on how fast I can get to them.
Great news, Marc. BTW, I really dig that picture of the chick between the TVs. Classic, classic.
I think the show is professional enough to be picked up by the ABC here in Aus! At the very least SBS would broadcast it!
Actually, you could probably get a segment on one of the lifestyle programs on a commercial channel.
Congrats again, dude. Do you get compensated for this or is it a freebie? Then again, Powermatic and Festool have got to be sportin’ some serious wood over this news! ;)
Thanks dude. Unfortunately there really isn’t any money in public television or cable access. I am just thankful for the exposure. And Powermatic is thrilled. Festool is no longer a sponsor of the show but since these are older episodes, their tools will still be seen in use. So I would hope they are happy about it. :)
Wow, I am stunned that Festool no longer sponsors your show! Is this a recent event? Maybe if those German’s would have a f@#*ing sale every once in a while they would make enough cash to keep TWW rightfully supported.
Well they were only in the first half of 2009, so it wasn’t a big surprise or anything. And you know, business is business and the economy is no one’s friend these days. Maybe some day in the future we’ll be able to welcome them back on board. We do have a new sponsor coming on board though. Can’t say much about just yet, but its a great fit and we are really excited about it.
I think the TV idea is cool. I hope it blossoms for you and N.
Marc, u da mon.
Good to see you are getting more exposure and recognition for your hard work Marc.
Good luck with continual growth in your business.
You’re hitin’ the big time dude!
There’s a word for this, well kind of a word, it’s got some numbers in it… what is it again… oh yeah…
w00t!!!
Watch out Norm…just don’t start wearing flannel shirts. Well…maybe once would be funny.
Well Mark, at least we can all say we knew ya before all of the bright lights, limos, and million dollar homes……Just don’t forget about us little guys.
Good for you Marc. This is really a testament to the quality of your video that you put out. I try to watch numerous wood working videos and yours are the only ones I’ve found that the production is really up there. Some are not even watchable.
Ops, I’m pretty sure that your woodworking skills are up there too.
Congratulations Marc. I live in Atlanta but my Dad picks up UNC. I’ll have to watch it next time I’m up there.
Good for you, Marc. That’s some great exposure and a sure step toward the big(ger) time. In my book you are definitely the 21st century’s younger, hipper Norm. Maybe with your help woodworking will get to be as popular as say…knitting!
Hey Mark,your videos have been a great help to me as I have stared to dip my toes into the world of woodworking. I hope this new market helps more people like me who are just beginning.
Weird, I have UNC channel, live 3 hours from charlotte yet I don’t see it in my programming. Apparently I will not see TWW on TV. The programming on the website does not match what my Guide displays.
Out of hopeful curiosity, has there been any consideration of any collaborations with other woodworking names out there?
(or another road trip video coming?)
I think most of us would be tickled pink, chartreuse, and mauve to see you do one with Norm, but I know I like watching some of the other “road trip” or interview videos you have.
Well, never say never. But we don’t really have the budget to specifically make trips for things like that. So usually if I am traveling to a certain area for something else, I try to add something woodworking-related onto the schedule. Who knows, maybe one day we’ll actually be able to budget a certain number of trips per year!
Mark, just found you this week on Charter Cable up here in Watertown, WI. I missed this week’s episode, but will tape next weeks.
