AA in the 21st century

How long will it be, I wonder, before we see AA meetings on TV? I'm not talking about television or movie depictions of AA meetings, as on "Hill Street Blues" or in "The Days of Wine and Roses" or "Clean and Sober," which show fictional meetings and characters portrayed by actors. I'm talking about real live AA meetings with real AA members, shown full-face, and carried, I predict, over some cable public-access channel. Furthermore, this won't be the brainstorm of some recently rehabbed, three-month-sober show-biz type who wants to show his "gratitude" to the program; it'll be the thought-out product of five- and fifteen-year-sober middle Americans who will believe that this is the most productive way of carrying the message of AA.
