TONIGHT AT 9PM – Fading Ad Blog Brooklyn Independent Television Spot Selected as Best of Brooklyn Tours 2010 – BCAT TV

Best of Brooklyn Independent Television: Tours 2010

It’s a big borough—seventy-one square miles, in fact. There’s so much to see and do that to try and pack it all into one tour would be close to impossible. This Best of BIT episode takes a stab at visiting as many Brooklyn historical sites and neighborhoods in half an hour—not such a hard task thanks to the tours BIT has featured in the last year. Learn about hidden stories in Brooklyn Heights, thanks to Homer Fink’s Hidden Heights Tour. Frank H. Jump (of Fading Ad Blog) takes viewers on his hunt for vintage mural advertisements in Brooklyn neighborhoods. Have a “World Cup Fever” relapse at five Brooklyn hotspots as fans cheer and jeer favorite international teams. Join Rabbi Beryl Epstein on his Jewish Hassidic Walking Tour for a fascinating look at how this culture thrives in Crown Heights. Then Levy’s Unique New Yorktakes viewers on a two-wheeled history lesson in the borough’s great beer-making tradition.

TAKEN FROM E-MAIL:

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.
