This is from RSGB news. I think it's a good idea to show amateur radio on some of these big TV chanels. I'm not sure if this is shown in USA too or just UK 
I watch the history chanel all the time (OK, I am sad!). I will have to keep a look out for this new series so that I can definitely watch the radio epiode.
The History Channel plans to run a new 13-part series in early 2007 on the Secret Life of Machines.One of the episodes will be devoted to amateur radio, in particular amateur radio in space.
Guests on the show will include Rosalie White of ARISS, an organisation that carries out amateur radio contacts between school pupils and astronauts on the International Space Station. She will talk about the role radio amateurs have played in the SuitSat-1 experiment and explain how amateur radio satellites are designed, tested and launched.
The amateur radio episode will also highlight the work of school pupils who built five types of crystal radios and compared their qualities.
