There have been some recent questions about the use of Deadliest Catch content on non-Discovery websites. Discovery Channel’s policy of allowing fan sites to use embeddable videos has not changed. We value and appreciate our online fans, and are always open to sharing clips with sites that feature Deadliest Catch and our other programming. Our policy does not, however, permit the use of confusingly similar domain names that infringe on our trademarks. This also extends to the use of photographs that are subject to license limitations designed to protect our talent and our brands. We are as committed as ever to our partnerships with our fan sites, and look forward to continuing to work with you and your content needs.

For those that don’t know even we can’t use “Deadliest Catch” in our branding, clothing and/or advertising for Northwestern stuff. While we do use the logo when referring to that #1 cable show Deadliest Catch on Discovery Channel that is the extent. This is also why we avoid editing DC Clips for youtube and using screen captures from the show.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Coast Guard rescue crews from Air Station Kodiak have recovered four fishermen at 8:39 p.m. 50 miles south of Montegue Island after the 75-foot Seattle-based fishing vessel Northern Belle sank Tuesday around 5:30 p.m.

Three of the four fishermen were reported to be suffering from hypothermia and a fourth was unresponsive but receiving CPR. It was reported the four fishermen were wearing survival gear when hoisted into the helicopter.

The MH-60 helicopter crew transferred the fishermen to awaiting emergency medical personnel in Cordova for further medical treatment at 9:20 p.m.

Coast Guard Communications Station Kodiak received the distress call on HF-FM radio around 5:30 p.m. from a crewmember reporting four people were on board and they were sinking and abandoning ship. The call was forwarded to the 17th District Command Center in Juneau.

The command center directed Air Station Kodiak to launch a MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter and a HC-130 Hercules aircraft at 5:40 p.m. The Cutter Long Island, which was 40 miles northwest of the Northern Belle, was also diverted to the area and should arrive on scene shortly after 8:30 p.m.

A federal appeals court ruled Friday that the Bush administration did not properly study the environmental impact of expanding oil and gas drilling off the Alaska coast and canceled a program to find new reserves.

The ruling came on a lawsuit brought by three environmental groups that want to protect the ecosystem and the Native Village of Point Hope, a tribe that lives off the wildlife on the Chukchi Sea coast. The seas are home to wildlife including polar bears, whales, seals, walruses and seabirds.

A three-judge panel in Washington found that the Bush-era Interior Department failed to consider the effect on the environment and marine life before it began the process in August 2005 to expand an oil and gas leasing program in the Beaufort, Bering, and Chukchi seas…

The agency received a distress signal just after 1 a.m. Wednesday from the 93-foot boat Katmai, which is home-ported in Seattle.

The military says all that searchers had found by noon Wednesday were two empty survival suits, a partially deflated life raft, and the emergency beacon registered to the Katmai. There were no signs of the boat or crew members.

The Katmai is owned by Katmai Fisheries Inc., based in Ballard, a company official told KOMO 4 News. The boat is based in Kodiak during the fishing season.

The Coast Guard said weather conditions were 35 mph winds with 10-15 foot seas and a rain/snow mix, limiting visibility to three miles.

The Katmai was headed toward an island in the Aleutian chain with a load of cod. The company says the crew is from all over the Northwest.

The guys from DC and Discovery rang the bell at Wall Street the other day.
