One stop wasn’t enough for the great people of Arkansas, so we gave the people what they wanted, two stops in two days. Starting with an overwhelming crowd in Fort Smith at the KFSM studios, we handed out more that $30,000 in antennas. We had anticipated only handing out 200 antennas, but because of demand […]
Huntsville may be known for its rocket technology, but on August 24 its citizens were thinking about something else, over-the-air TV antennas. Kicking off the 2010 Unemployment Bus Tour, we teamed up with local station WAFF, Cumulus Radio and the Decatur Mall team for a hugely successful antenna giveaway. With lines that were estimated at […]
A brisk pre-dawn remote in South East Texas and at 5:45am we were ready for our closeup. Katie was sucessful in hypnotizing the staff at KBMT into extolling the virtues of Cleastream antennas as the greatest thing since Hot Pockets. We went live 5 times that morning and a Clearstream 2 sat on the anchor […]
Holy Katie Anastasia Tewillager Brady in a prom dress! Whats going on here? When we arrived at the station around 10am, there were already 100 people waiting for us; did we get the time wrong? The station’s receptionist said some had been camping out since 7am. It turns out that the station, in an earlier […]
A rainy Saturday afternoon, but still over 400 people turned out for a chance to win a Clearstream antenna. KSLA was our host and offered advice and guidance for local viewers. Ch12 KSLA will be broadcasting their DTV signal on Ch17 after the transition, so there was a great deal of interest in antennas with […]
Wow! its events like this that make the whole tour worthwhile. Dave Vincent, the GM of WLOX welcomed us to the station and gave us the grand tour, explaining how the station survived Katrina and still managed to stay on the air. The Gulfport area still looks like someone took an eraser and wiped part […]
Jackson Mississippi was the next stop on the tour and we not only met some great folks but it looks like we’ll have a new retailer in Mississippi as Cowboy Maloney’s was very excited to have us as a partner. People had been coming to their store for months looking for a reliable antenna and […]
It was a cold and rainy Monday, which dampened attendance a little, but still about 75 people braved the weather to attend the event. WNCFwas kind enough to provide a couple of engineers to answer questions. Actually two stations are under the same roof, The ABC affiliate and Montgomery’s CW network. Costco came out and […]
So WMBD Ch31 calls; We have 21 hours to leave Denver and be in Peoria before 4pm for a pre-shoot. Katie says, why not? Here are pictures of the event in the Peoria Civic Center, were we were strategically placed between the Survivor auditions and the pony rides.
So KUSA calls – we need to make it to the station by 4:30am for a 5 am live remote. Gregarious news staff, but Its not natural to stand in a freezing parking lot before dawn having someone shouting at you through an earpiece. What a weird way to make a living. What a pleasant […]
Up at 4:45 this morning, no antenna givaway this time , but we got to appear on the KOTV Ch 6 morning newscast. They even let me sit on the couch in the studio during the interview! We got to extol the virtues of the antennas without the effort of a large scale event. After […]
Wow, its getting hard to predict the turn out for these events, one would think that a smaller market would have a smaller turnout; Not true, over 1500 people showed up and descended like a plague of locusts cleaning us out out hats , shirts, literature and of course antennas.
