I was really bored at work today and figured I'd search our database for RX-8 related TV coverage going back to 2005. I really wish I could have secured some content for the launch year, but we only have archived data going back to 2005. Bear in mind this isn't a full list, but rather a data sampling from major affiliate outlets in all 210 domestic markets. The summaries are derived from closed captioning and aren't fully comprehensive, but there's enough here for an interesting browse through the RX-8's time line. If you're curious to see how often the RX-8 is mentioned in the news, the links below lead to an XLS (Excel) spreadsheet and an HTML file.

This is some pretty cool stuff. Wish I had access to a database like this for checking on how often other random, off-the-beaten-path fascinations of mine were on television!

Ha, yeah it's a useful tool. And a sometimes useful weapon
