I guess this is as good a place as any for this...
Just received an email from a producer at a new channel in Canada. The email is below, in its entirety, but the long and short of it is, they're looking for shorts.
Thought I'd share.

Hi
My name is Jason Agnew I'm the head producer at a new channel in Canada called BITE.
I got your contact off the Mandy.com site as a producer of short films or
television projects. BITE is a channel that specializes in short films
aimed at a 18-34 y.o male demographic. We act as a platform for students
and independent producers to show off their works including SHORT FILMS,
ANIMATIONS, COMMERCIAL PARODYS, MUSIC VIDEOS, SKETCH COMEDY, VIDEOGRAPHY,
ETC. We are currently looking for productions to air on the network, please
see below for more about the channel and check out our website at
www.bitetv.ca for more details. Also please pass this onto anyone that you
think may be interested in having their shorts aired on BITE.
Thanks,
Jason
