Doesn't it strike you as odd that the Golf Channel has taken Peter Kessler off the air and they don't even have the decency to let the viewers know? They havejust slowly phased him out over the last few months. No announcement of their decision to remove the man who helped carry the Golf channel through its lean years. If they feel they have made the honorable decision here, they ought to make an announcement on Golf Central that Peter has been silenced although they will keep him on the payroll for a year. Andexplain to their loyal viewers why this was necessary. They don't even have enough respect for their viewers to let them know what is going on. Why not? Because they know what they have done is WRONG! they know they have been unfair and they are hoping it will just go away. They are hoping you will fall in love with their new formats and hosts and forget about the most popular host The Golf Channel has ever had. What they don't understand is that true golfers are a very fairminded and loyal people. The Golf Channel has survived because of the serious golf fan. the Golf Channel needs the base of the serious golf fan to survive. But the serious golf fan will not tolerate this type of treatment of someone who has worked so hard. They also will not tolerate the sneaky way they have tried to do this. They have spit in the face of their viewers who overwhelmingly love Peter. If they are proud of their decision---Then let the viewers know!!! Proudly make an announcement that you have dumped Peter!!! This hasn't happened because Peter was silenced because his popularity was causing jealousy and bruised egos on the part of some at the Golf Channel. They just want tnis to go away. Don't let it people. We can bring Peter back. Absolutely we can. You can fight the corporate bigshots. Contact Brian Roberts at Comcast. Hewill hear what you have to say. Contact the Golf Channel and its advertisers. we can win!VIEWERS RULE!!!! Reply Report Ignore

I did not read your entire post - I actually didn't even finish the first sentance!

If you are so dead set against TGC, why don't you NOT watch or participate in its forums? I think I speak for most of us when I say WE would certainly be a lot happier. We are here to discuss golf and related topics; not try to trap TGC in tight legal spots with endless pointless debates on who they employ!

GO AWAY!

I like you too!!! Hit the ignore button if you don't like my posts. The point is that the Golf Channel is failing to properly keep its viewers informed of an issue that would be of interest to most viewers. They are being deceptive and misleading with their viewers because theyhave made a decision that they cannot defend. How could management take a good concept and screw it up so badly??!!If you don't like my posts....Hit ignore. Have a nice day! Reply Report Ignore

By the way. If you didn't even get through the first sentence, how do you know that I am trying to trap the GolfChannel in tight legal spots? How do you know it is about who they employ?! Edited 3/3/02 8:11:34 PM ET by STEVGOLF Reply Report Ignore

I agree TGC did Peter Kessler dirty!! It is up to ARNIE to clean up the image of TGC!!! Except for the GOLF channel PRAISING their GOD TIGER they seem to be lost for any other AGENDA. I soon expect some of the cast to be shown baking cookies and bowing to a blown up picture of tiger holding an illegal club and yelling "AP"-- before tossing his ball out of a penalty situation.LOL Reply Report Ignore

Gee...Maybe I didn't get through the first sentence because you only post on here about deleted messages and Peter. When you are savvy enough to own your own TV station, and host your own discussion channel, THEN you can have content control! It is very simple ( and simple minded) to sit back in your easy chair and criticize, cut down and demean TGC and something else entirely to run a television channel completely devoted to one topic!

I for one praise TGC for the fine work they do, and the information they bring to us.

David, you surprise me. You told me you were going to put me on ignore. Instead, you follow me all over the place to add your comments. You are free and welcome to do that, of course. But, again, you are not a man of your word if you tell people you are going to do something and then don't follow through! By the way Mr. Showells, why did you edit my title of this thread? Too negative for The Golf Channel people to handle? Reply Report Ignore

i also praise the Golf Channel for the fine work they do. i really have no problem with the fairly average talent they have left. I do have a problem when a corporation behaves in the sneaky manner that the Golf Channel has. It could care less about its viewers. Peter Kessler deserves better than this. The viewers who foot the bill deserve better than this. It is sad that they have screwed it up this badly. Bring back Peter!! Reply Report Ignore
