gridironmike Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 If you're not going to the Patriots at Redskins this weekend, here is a great opportunity to turn WBDJ 7 into FedEx South. You guys could tailgate in their parking lots and then, well, check it out. Reply to this thread and let each other know who is going to be there! http://www.wdbj7.com/premier.htm We will be celebrating our CBS network "Premiere Week" in a big way here at your hometown station, and YOU are invited! All week (September 22-26) we will open the doors to the HDTV Theater inside our WDBJ Digital Broadcast Center. It's your chance to come in to see the new fall shows on our new 16 ft. screen in spectacular high definition! Seating is very LIMITED. We can seat 80 viewers in the HDTV Theater. Free tickets will be issued on a first come, first served basis for individual shows. We will begin handing out tickets for shows at 7:30 p.m. We will only issue tickets for shows that air that night. In case our theater fills up, we'll be setting up other HDTV sets just outside our building. In addition to our Premiere Week Celebration each week day evening (Monday-Friday), September 22nd-September 26th, we are also inviting sports fans Sunday, September 28th for the Redskins v. Patriots game in HDTV. We will distribute free tickets for the HDTV football game Sunday beginning at 12:30pm. The WDBJ Digital Broadcast Center is on Hershberger Rd. in Roanoke next to the Wyndam Hotel. Call (540) 344-7000 for more details or e-mail kzuber@wdbj7.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Sack Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Fox 21/27 just hired me as their news photojournalist. Can I still show up? :laugh: This actually sounds like fun. Maybe I'll swing by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gridironmike Posted September 23, 2003 Author Share Posted September 23, 2003 Hey, do they ALWAYS carry the Redskins games (FOX 21/27)? I am trying to get them added to my cable package. I am two hours away from Roanoke, but we get WDBJ as one of our CBS affiliates. Our only FOX affiliate is WVAH in Huntington, WV. A 16 ft. screen for HDTV, I'd be there but I'm going to the game. I just thought it would be neat for about 80 Redskins fans to pack that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poidog22 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Wow, that's a tough one. I can get 80 cent domestic drafts at Macadoo's where I usually watch the game, but I would like to put some faces with names from this board.....any chance of WDBJ selling 70 cent drafts at their tailgate?
