Do you guys really think that it's politics in this case? I, for one, believe there's A LOT of politics in FD, but.

As I said in another thread. There are a lot of legalities in airing on TV. Could it have been that the '240TA' was very commonly mentioned as 'Smoky the Bandit' and the relation of Burt Reyanolds was mentioned so many times that FD didn't want to air due to copyright purposes?

For those that were not able to make both Atlanta and Chicago events, I can CLEARLY see a difference in the way the XAT 240 was announced when it was being introduced.

Just an observation, don't know too much, but it sounds logical to me.
