BRIC has announced that December 27th – December 31st will be its “Best of Brooklyn Independent Television Week.” This special week of programming will visit some of our favorite Brooklyn Independent Television stories covered in 2010.
Out of the hundreds of packages we created in the past year or so, a Brooklyn Review segment featuring Fading Ad Blog has been selected for the Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours episode. We thought you’d like to know so you can tell your friends, neighbors and more about your special selection and the airing of Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours.
The Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours episode will air at 1:00pm and 9:00pm on Wednesday, December 29th on BRIC Arts | Media | Bklyn’s BCAT TV Network. (If you do spread the word, please tell your friends it’ll air “On Brooklyn Independent Television on the BCAT TV Network”—we underwent a branding change and need to get the new verbiage out there.)
Best of BIT: Brooklyn Tours will air on Brooklyn’s Time Warner 56, Cablevision 69, RCN 84 and in all five boroughs on Verizon 44. It will also stream online at www.bricartsmedia.org/bit (launch Channel 3). It will be available online at www.bricartsmedia.org/bitspecials a couple days after its airdate.
For our official press release, visit http://bk.ly/w40 (we’ve also got it posted on our blog at http://bk.ly/w46) with future plugging coming to our various social media platforms including Facebook (www.facebook.com/bkindependenttv ) and Twitter (@bkindependenttv).

In 1852, the Edwin B. Stimpson Company opened a 1,500 square foot factory in Lower Manhattan at what would be, 31 years hence, the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge.
Now, more than 150 years later, Stimpson produces the largest variety of standard and special eyelets of any single company in the world from two facilities totaling over 550,000 square feet. Our Bayport, New York and Pompano Beach, Florida plants are furnished with the most advanced, state-of-the-art, high-speed automated equipment available. – Stimpson Co Facilities

This still was taken from a Library of Congress archival footage of a train crossing the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan. The Fletcher’s Castoria ad on the right is clearly seen in the beginning of the film. Steam billowing from what possibly was the Domino Sugar Refiner is an awesome sight.
