Would you accept an invitation to be featured on a tv station?

Me not. Why not? A lot of reasons I have to refuse that. At Easter, I received a message from a woman who said she is from a Filipino tv channel here in Europe. A tv station where you have to pay to be able to watch their channel. They have read some of my blogs and they would like to feature me on their show. It is not sure yet if they would really publish it because it still need approval from the higher person. I have forgotten about that message because at that time my hubby was in the hospital. Yesterday I remembered it and my opinion is still the same. NO! WHY? Firstly, I will not be able to see if I would be featured as I don't have that channel. Secondly, I don't trust that tv channel whos mother tv station is the number 1 in the Philippines. Would you like to be featured in a tv show? Have a great new week. The photo was taken when I was on the way to the city. Do you know the name of this flower?

No, I would surely refuse, I am very private and I am not interested in being seen on TV.

@thelme55 Internet is anonymous, showing your face in the TV is different, it's not something I would like to do.

So do I @LadyDuck although I blog about many things being an Expat here in Germany. That is very different than being interviewed and featured in the tv.

That is of course good if you have a business @Kandae11 but they will feature me as a Filipino who is successful abroad. They would want to know about my life how I came to Germany, my work, etc..... It would be too private for me and I don't want to be on tv.

I have given a few interviews and participated to a tv show, but it was for my job. I would refuse to be featured in a show, I am against cult of personality. I think it is the flower of a Japanese cherry tree. Flowers are nicer than the fruits.

If I thought the show was genuine and not too controversial, I would not have a problem.

Yes, money is very important. There was no talk about money when they asked me to be featured @shaggin.

I think you made the right decision. Being on TV like that, would mean that you will have to share them some of the things about your house and others.

I've been in commercials and both DILs have been featured on TV shows. If it's a reliable station and your business would benefit, I'd do it.
