I have a "big picture" question for you:

How much would it cost the state of South Carolina to film (in HD) some of Charleston's most picturesque locations and then have those "video postcards" aired during prime time viewing hours on network television? How much would it cost the state to show a nationwide television audience of potentially ten million viewers 8 to 10 minutes worth of Charleston scenery on a weekly basis?

I'm guessing more than whatever the state will pay out in subsidies.

Yes, the state is paying taxpayers money (via subsidy) directly to the production, but we taxpayers are getting something very valuable in return - the sort of long term exposure that we could never achieve via traditional tourism marketing strategies.

Location themed television shows generally have a positive impact with regard to tourism revenues for the locations depicted.

As a regular listener and follower of Tara, she did no such thing. A little fellow (who runs a fairly inconsequential news publication) by the name of John Hood got his boxers in a bunch when she poked fun at our communist president and the proclivities of his supporters.
