|
Global Sponsor to Provide Extensive Television & Radio Coverage of Sports & Cultural Festival
2006-07-04
Proud TV will cover sports, cultural and ceremony events during the 8-day long sports & cultural festival in Chicago. Proud TV camera crews will work cooperatively with Gay Games Chicago organizers to tape the Opening Ceremony, 15 July at Soldier Field, and the Closing Ceremony, July 22 at Wrigley Field. Crews will record elements of all 30 Gay Games sports, cultural performances, celebrity and athlete interviews, and medal ceremonies. During the Gay Games, PNN will provide smart phone and podcast updates. Gay Games Chicago and Proud TV will use the videotaped footage for post-Gay Games television shows and a Gay Games souvenir DVD. Listeners can tune in online and through mobile phones to hear Gay Games updates provided by PNN Radio.
After the Gay Games, complete coverage will be available on Proud Television’s local affiliate WGAY Channel 69 and Cox Cable Channel 20 in Key West. It will also be available via the Akimbo® set-top box (Proud TV Channel), online at www.pridenation.com, via Windows® Home Media Center (Proud TV Channel), and also via Apple® iTunes® podcast - enter "PrideNation" during an iTunes search.
"We’re excited to be a part of this history making event," said AEU Media Group President Allen Edwards. "We are thrilled to be able to share with our viewers and listeners the quality content of Gay Games Chicago. We’re honored to participate."
"In addition to traditional television broadcast, PNN brings Gay Games coverage into emerging platforms making the excitement and stories of the Games accessible to more people than ever before. It is amazing to think of catching Gay Games coverage on I-Tunes, mobile phones, Internet, and on cable," said Brenda Schumacher, Broadcast Communications Director for Gay Games VII.
