Default RC airplanes on TV

For years people were certain that promoting our hobby/sport on TV couldn't be done because it was too expensive. Full stop. With so much money that has been spent on ads, promotions, etc, look where we are now.
One show reached 720k viewers, so say AMA. It's very difficult to believe that the coalition of industry members can't come up with the money to pay for TV programs, even funding for programs on local cable.

Goal: Increase Media Exposure
AMA invited Nickelodeon’s hit TV show “Dude Perfect” to fly at AMA’s Richardson Radio Control Flying Club in Princeton, Texas (pictured above). AMA Youth member Rhett Lambert helped arrange the shoot and participated in the episode. The episode debuted May 1, 2019, as 720,000-plus viewers that night were introduced to the joy model aviation on Nickelodeon.
