Havoc which Pointfest also has a dailyfour-hour programming

Havoc, which gleans Pointfest also has concerts uncovers a dailyfour-hour programming block on DIRECTV's 101 Network, used the deliverymechanism and the World Wide Web to invite media to participate in Volvo CarCorporation's press activities in Detroit. This marks the first time that anautomobile company has creatively utilized the potential for generatingimmediate response communication between its executives and remotejournalists.While Havoc TV reaches millions of viewers and generates over two-billionad impressions per year, its recent partnering with Volvo Car Corporationclearly demonstrates the company's technical flexibility, creativity andinnovative approach to contemporary broadcast and web programming.Havoc TV's CEO, Ryan Kresser said, "The idea of creating a liveinteractive broadcast and webcast for Volvo was the direct result of ouraction sports and live music coverage. Havoc TV has developed an interactivesystem that allows viewers to actually participate in the live events we coverby asking questions or making requests of those featured during the event.Together with Volvo we believed the Havoc/DIRECTV system could become acreative way of reaching out to journalists not physically present at majorauto shows. Detroit was the inaugural test of this approach and from ourperspective it was a complete success.""Media attendance at major auto shows is critically important to Volvo forthe launch of new vehicles and sharing of corporate news. We are alwayslooking for new ways of reaching our core media base," said Peter Ganjbar,Manager Broadcast Media Relations at Volvo Cars. Volvo presented its newestcrossover model the XC60 along with an innovative S60 concept car at the NorthAmerican International Auto Show and announced the company's latest safetyengineering application; a leading-edge technology geared to protectingpedestrians and drivers.Volvo's press conference served as the centerpiece to Havoc's HighDefinition (HD) televison broadcast, which aired on DIRECTV's 101 Network, anda simultaneous interactive global webcast.

Both programs were produced anddistributed live from the Volvo display at the Detroit show pointfest bands . The combinedprograms also featured executive interviews, product explanations and othercorporate information.The Volvo/Havoc interactive webcast enabled viewing media -- around theworld -- to watch the Volvo press conference and other program elements onlineand text their question from a computer or appropriate mobile device duringthe one-hour program to an on-site host in Detroit concert . Program hosts asked Volvoguests some of the submitted questions and their responses were seen and heardlive on both the DIRECTV HD broadcast and via the World Wide Web."Instead of sports or music fans asking live questions we had automotiveand business press pose their questions to those responsible for one of theworld's most respected car companies," added Kresser 105.7 the x . The overall goal was toprovide media not present at Volvo's Detroit press conference with exactly thesame information their colleagues saw and heard at the event 1057thex . "Even if wehelped only a handful of media -- unable to attend the Detroit show -- theeffort was worthwhile.

Volvo cannot permit a tough economy from preventing itsaccess to the media," Ganjbar concluded.SOURCEVolvoDaniel McCue, +1-714-557-3663, mobile, +1-714-231-6036,, or Ryan Lilyengren, +1-714-557-3663, mobile,+1-541-579-0257, , both of Freeman|McCue PublicRelations, for Volvo 105.7 pointfest . Dear Commissioner Thompson,Congratulations on a decade of tremendous athletics from your conference since its founding in 1999 1057thepoint . No, none of your competitors in any sport has won a National Title of any kind since being members of the Mountain West, but the schools consistently yield competitive teams.I would like to address, today, the growing issue between your conference and my school The very large elephant in the room if you will en pointe technologies . The issue, it seems, that you never want to discuss.I want to know why your conference will not add Boise State University.For the sake of this letter, I will speak in terms of the football program enpointe . As I'm sure you can agree that is the big money maker.  Although our other athletic programs are also more than qualified for a conference upgrade.It is easy to see why we were not initially invited to join. In 1999, when you split off to do your thing, we were a brand new D-I school competing in that tiny little conference called the Big West.In 1999, we won that conference.

We won it again in 2000.Following the 2000 season?and after your conference had taken many of its members?the Western Athletic Conference invited us to join them.We won the conference our second season as a member Then again the third season pointfest tickets . Then again the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth seasons.This?ninth?season, we are poised to win it again.The only season we didn't win it, 2007, we were second only behind BCS bound Hawai'i krnb 105.7 . (Yes, I saw the outcome of that Sugar Bowl.)There is a reason we refer to it as a "Decade of Dominance."We have only lost four conference games since 2000.Yes, you can talk about how the competition in the WAC is inferior to that of the Mountain West.You would be right (but don't forget Boise State is 16-1 vs MWC schools, too) thepoint . That's why we need you.But don't you need us, too?Starting next season, the Bowl Championship Series will air on the ESPN family of networks.In case you haven't noticed, Boise State is an ESPN darling.How else do you explain the seven BSU games broadcast by the network this season?This wouldn't be the first time you have expanded, either.In 2005 you added the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs.Today, I am watching a popular college television show being broadcast from that campus And that team will probably bust the BCS this year 105.7 x . That is big bucks in your wallet and the budgets of all the MWC schools  Imagine getting that money every single year. Imagine finishing a football season with four teams from your conference ranked in the top 25.Adding the Broncos to your conference will only help you and your cause. It is a win-win situation. Maybe it's not too far-fetched to think that the MWC can get an automatic bid to a BCS game.

I'm sure we would agree that the MWC+Boise State would be better and more competitive than the Big East, Big Ten, and ACC . Using this year as a gauge, I would say even better than the Big XII and Pac-10.There is zero reason for you not to invite the Boise State Broncos to your conference oblio . I will personally call WAC commissioner Karl Benson and express condolences on your behalf for robbing him of his money maker.(No hard feelings, Mr Benson the brew . You understand, right?)With all excuses moot, I?along with some other pretty intelligent people?have already gone through the trouble of preparing your post 2009-10 football season press release:"We the commissioner and presidents of schools of the Mountain West Conference, in order to form a more perfect conglomerate, establish justice (the moral principle determining just conduct), insure conference tranquility (serenity), provide for the BCS, promote our own welfare, and secure the (monetary) blessings of automatic qualifying to ourselves and our(selves) posterity, do ordain and establish this invitation to the Boise State University Broncos to join our conference." I anxiously await your response. Sincerely yours,Robert Tucker Botkin .
