Their website is positively ancient and it appears their only substantive social media presence is Facebook, which they don't even link to from their store page.

Their marketing is very much geared toward people who watched their shows back in the day. Their TV spots - which mostly seem to run on regional TV - feel very infomercial-like. They even have a phone number you can call to order from. I don’t think they’re putting a lot of emphasis on remastering in their marketing so as to keep it simple. They could really do with a better graphic designer for their covers, that’s for sure.
Blu-Rays are more expensive to produce and replicate than DVDs. If Crawfords are running on the smell of an oily rag, I can see why they wouldn’t want to take the financial risk. I’m sure if Umbrella or ViaVision (or even a foreign label) made them a good enough offer, they’d take it.
Worth noting that the NFSA has all the elements, including picture and sound negative.
