Apsolos katru reizi nerakstit sitik gari un plasi par SVEIKS televizijas raidijumiem. Bet patiesam tas ir kaut kas neticams redzet latviesus un dzirdet latviesu valodu KANADAS televizija!

Un es to nesaku tikai tapec, ka manai pusotru gadu vecai meitai Darijai sajuka prats, kad vina sedeja mammai klepi, un taja pasa laika redzeja mammu ekrana.

Ka teica Kanadas "Minister of Heritage" Sheila Copps pagajusas nedelas OMNI.2 atklasana, berni pavada vairak laika pie TV ne ka skola. Ja vini sevi (savu etnisko grupu) redz atspogulotu televizija, tad vini var sevi saukt par kanadiesiem: vieta televizija dod vietu Kanada.

Respektivi: paradoties TV latviesi klust dala no Kanadas multikulturalas mozaikas "lielas speles". Mes ari "skaitamies" un mums ari pienakas laiks etera. Un jutas baigi labi!

KAS: SVEIKS latviesu TV programma

KAD: Sestdienas 11:30; Atkartojums tresdienas 14:30, no 21. sept lidz 14. dec.

(Lietuviesu un igaunu raidijumi ari sest (10:30 un 11:00) ar atkartojumiem pirm/otr).

KUR: CFMT (OMNI.1)

Toronto TV: Channel 47; Cable 4;

Satelitu sistemas: Express Vu 218; Star Choice; Look TV.

Ta ka es piedalijos SVEIKS veidosana, varu meginat atbildet uz daziem no jusu akigiem jautajumiem:

?: Kur tika filmets virtuves sizets?

A: CFMT "virtuves studija", kur griestu kamera var filmet edienus no augsas.

?: Kapec Ingo negatavoja "latviesu" edienu?

A: Jo mums bija maz laika filmesanai un piragu mikla ilgi rugst. Kas ja klingeris butu plakans?

?: Kur bija prezidente intervijas laika?

A: Prezidente Vaira Vike-Freiberga sedeja CFMT studija Otava, es sedeju CFMT studija Toronto.

?: Vai ir pieejams kaut kads parskats par saturu visam 13 programmam?

A: Visu SVEIKS saturu kodolgrupa ir nolemusi neatklat! Bet varam pazinot, ka katra programma bus profils (par tautas deju grupam, rotkaliem), galvenais sizets (par beriem, naudu, nakotni); intervija; un vel virtuve, muzika, deja...

Nakamajas programmas:

28. sept - Muzike Linda Maruta...

*****************************************

[I promise I won't write long intros about the SVEIKS television show in every issue. But it is so amazing to see Latvians and hear Latvian on CANADIAN television!

And I'm not just saying that because my one year-old daughter Darija became totally confused when she saw mom on the screen, and also happened to be sitting in mom's lap.

As Canada's Minister of Heritage Sheila Copps said at last week's OMNI.2 launch, kids spend more time in front of the tube than they do at school. If they see themselves (their ethnic group) reflected on television, then they can call themselves Canadians: a place on TV gives them a place in Canada.

Which means Latvians become part of the big multicultural mosaic - in its high-tech, most visible form. We're in the big picture, we "count", and we get airtime. And that feels great!

WHAT: SVEIKS Latvian TV program

WHEN: Saturdays 11:30; Repeats Wednesdays 14:30, from Sept 21 to Dec 14.

(Lithuanian and Estonian shows are also Sat (10:30 and 11:00), repeats Mon/Tues).

WHERE: CFMT (OMNI.1)

Toronto TV: Channel 47; Cable 4;

Satellite systems: Express Vu 218; Star Choice; Look TV.

Since I was part of the SVEIKS team, I can respond to a few frequently asked questions:

Q: Where was the cooking segment filmed?

A: In the CFMT studio kitchen - where a ceiling camera can shoot food from above.

Q: Why didn't Ingo prepare "Latvian" food?

A: Because we had a tight filming schedule and "piragi" dough takes a while to rise. What if the "klingeris" were flat?

Q: Where was the president during the interview?

A: President Vaira Vike-Freiberga was sitting in the CFMT studio in Ottawa, I was in the CFMT studio in Toronto.

Q: Can we get details on the 13 shows?

A: The SVEIKS team has decided to keep schedule details a secret. But we can tell you every episode contains a profile (on a folk dance group, jewelers); a main feature (on kids, money, the future); an interview; and cooking segments, music, dance...

Next shows:

Sept 28 - Musician Linda Maruta...

Oct 5 - Chef Ingo Karklins...
