Dearborn Truck Plant on National Geographic TV

Hey folks!

I thought you all might be interested in this and I've already got my DVR set for it.

On National Geographic Channel tomorrow night at 8PM, NatGeo is featuring the Dearborn Truck Plant on Ultimate Factories.

Damn it! National Geographic Canada doesn't seem to play Ultimate Factories, just a million episodes of Alaska State Trooper.

You might keep an eye out on here:Video -- Ultimate Factories -- National Geographic

NatGeo posts full length episodes of their shows there and it's an easy way to watch it.

I enjoyed the show. Wish they would have spent more time in powertrain area though.

I will watch for it appear, a lot of US broadcast stations limit their viewing by IP to US IP's only but fortunately for me National Geographic does not.

I really liked it.

There's enough going on in that plant that they could have easily made that into a two hour show.

Good to hear that you can get online on their site. I've watched their full videos before and the nice thing is that they're commercial-free unless something's changed.

You bet...any time. I really like watching NatGeo as they've got a lot of really good shows. Ultimate Factories is great. I've watched the Peterbilt episode several times.

I was telling everybody about this at work and they were all programming their DVR's via smart phone.

I hope Ford appreciates the lengths we go to generate just one more customer.
