I spoke with Father Michael today and he said they are going to be filming a new Light of the East TV series. Not sure how long it will take before it airs. Most likely 6 months or longer but I am just guessing.

Hi Ray.
That is great news!!! I love their series. I've corresponded with Fr. Mikael several times because I've been trying to purchase a copy of his Light of the East series on DVD or video. EWTN no longer sells the tapes and referred me to Fr. Michael and Fr. Joseph, who apparently don't have copies either. I've gone back and forth with EWTN for 2 months with no success. They made it completely clear they cannot help me purchase a copy, period, end of sentence.
I have my VCR scheduled to tape the show weekly, but unfortunately EWTN has preempted the show many times. When I get up in the morning and turn on my VCR frequently there is some other "special" show recorded.
And on the new line up starting in August or Sept. EWTN has cut the show altogether :-( I've politely but firmly complained any number of times that this is the only program they carry- 30 mins out of 24/7 programming- that is focused on the Eastern Catholic Churches and they should not ever preempt it, and now definitely shouldn't be cutting it out of the schedule.
I love EWTN but having spoken with a half dozen people there over several months each one I talked with could not be less concerned about any of these topics- the series no longer being available for purchase, the frequent preempting of the program, and now the cancellation altogether of the show. I realize it's a huge operation and this is one teeny concern but I've done my best to say that's part of the problem- they need more ongoing coverage of the ECCs. So I'm definitely excited to hear they are in fact going to produce a new series with Fr. Michael and Fr. Joseph. Here's hoping this one will be an hour weekly!
I'm involved in RCIA and other adult formation within the Latin/Roman Catholic community and would love to be able to use Fr. Mike's series with our folks. I'll be impatiently awaiting the new series LOL. -Mary Louise
