I am studding evidence of pre-historical occupation of Terceira Island (Azores) presenting diversity of cultural connections to England/Ireland as well as East American primitive constructions. The liaison of Atlantic Ocean two sides through Terceira is there documented in rupestral evidence.
I think this matter could be interestingly explored through this Channel in a series of seven episodes, as depicted on my book recently presented A Marca Invisvel, and I would like to get in touch to better explain.

Antonieta Costa:

You will be best contacting the Smithsonian Channel see Smithsonian Channel: It's Brighter Here
This is an independent Help site for people with reception problems.
There's a "Contact" at the bottom of their page, and you may be best to look at the "Program Treatments/Submissions" entry.

Please can you reduce is stop playing music when the wildlife programmes are running, the music overpowers the commentary.

Why are there no subtitles on the Smithsonian
TV channel.
I see such interesting programmes advertised but
cannot watch them. I pay my licence fee and feel
my daughter and other deaf or hearing impaired
TV viewers are being discriminated against.
