Paintball and E-Mags on TV!

[shartley]

Since we all like to hear good things about Paintball on TV, and we love to hear good press for AGD.....

WMUR-TV Channel 9 out of Manchester NH, runs a very popular show called NH Chronicle. This show spotlights many things in NH and the general New England area. It runs every weeknight at 7:30. (Yes, I watch almost every weeknight too.) They generally do each week featuring a special location to be the "base" from which they launch each of their stories and "spotlights" from. This last week it was Hampton Beach.....

On 04/25/02 (yup... this past Thursday) they visited Adventure Games Paintball Park in Weare, NH. They are using AGPaintball for their "base" location for all shows starting Monday April 29th and ending Friday May 3rd!

This means that Paintball will be seen on average 6 or 7 times per show... ALL WEEK LONG! It is estimated that over 100,000 people watch the show each night, which makes the exposure very nice topping out at over 500,000 for the week.

And what is even better is that the featured Marker is the E-MAG! Cynthia (AG's Owner) supplied the Hosts with E-Mags for the major shots (THANKS CYNTHIA).

Nice

Its always good to hear when the sport we love to play gets a helping hand from the media. All to often, the media is portraying our sport as a war scenario. Our sport gets a bad rap for the obvious reasons; camoflage, guns and shooting other people. All of which aren't exactly accepted by the general public. While we may not deem these legitimate reasons, the public can often fear the unknown. This show is just the thing some of these people need to chase off the stereo type associated with our fine sport. So, to the producers of this show I take my hat off and give them all the credit they deserve for helping get our sport good exposure and clearing up any misconceptions related to the sport of paintball.

Cool! That's exactly the type of exposure that we (paintballers) and AGD need! Maybe some more of us can write to our local TV news affiliates and convince them to do a segment at one of our local fields. I'm up for the task. I'll give it a shot and let AO know how it turns out.

Your pretty well known for "correcting" peoples posts(im just jokin with ya) The exposure isn't really 500,000 cause it isn't unique viewers. Most of that 100,000 each night are regular viewers and would have already seen it.

Not a flame, just messin' with ya SHartley

I believe the castle anthrax they are referring to is in EMR paintball in New England...(PA or something) they have an annual Monty Python and the Holy Grail scenario game, complete with the white rabbit.

Castle Anthrax

The Castle Anthrax posted is indeed in New Hampshire at Adventure Games Paintball Park in Weare.

The EMR Castle Conquest is in PA.

Sorry I did not respond.... I don't know if you will get it or not in Maine. The channel is out of Manchester, NH. You would actually know better if you get it than I would.
