Just a reminder, in case you didn’t get one of our dayglo business cards announcing this one hour show:
On Thursday, April 13, from 5:00-6:00 PM EDT, there will be a one hour show with highlights from the 2000 Nationals broadcast via satellite to all participating GM dealers in the United States. This is a great show, with objective coverage of the qualifying and elimination matches. We have done this the last two years, and we show more footage and give more insight (‘expert’ commentary by yours truly!) than ESPN ever did.
Here’s how to see the show: Call your local GM dealer (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Pontiac, GMC, Oldsmobile, or Saturn) and ASK them if they are participating in the broadcast. They have the necessary equipment to receive the show, and it is up to them to decide whether to allow people in to see it. They will probably not be super-aware of the broadcast (we keep trying to improve this, but its tough because the message does not always get to the person who answers the phone), so BE PATIENT with them as you talk them in to letting you come in and run their VCR for an hour! Get there early to make sure the signal is coming through properly. Heck, tell them you are bringing in someone who wants to buy a car… :))
The show will be on their Channel 22 (if they have digital equipment) or on their Channel 11 (if they have the old BMAC equipment).
By the way, the signal will be on the following coordinates in case you have a dish:
ku band Galaxy 7 (analog)
14 upper
transponder 64
uplink frequency 14305 vertical
downlink frequency 12005 horizontal
Let me know how you like the show!
