TIME WARNER CABLE WELCOMES C-SPAN2's NEW BOOK TV BUS TO BUFFALO, NY ON ITS FIRST NATIONWIDE TOUR
WASHINGTON, D.C. – C-SPAN2’s new Book TV Bus will travel to Buffalo, New York for the first time on its nationwide tour of local libraries, bookstores, and festivals to promote Book TV’s unique non-fiction book programming and enhance its local coverage of authors.
 In partnership with the local Time Warner Cable affiliate, the Book TV Bus offers tours of its studio set, participation in an interactive demonstration about Book TV programming, the opportunity to learn how a television show is produced, and a chance to sign up for programming alerts. The bus crew will compile interviews with local nonfiction authors for possible future air to enhance Book TV’s local coverage.
The Bus, like Book TV, tries to shine the spotlight on local non-fiction writers in the area and give them access to a national audience. The crew will also tape questions from Bus visitors for Book TV’s September In Depth guest, Tammy Bruce. For more information on the Bus, please visit www.booktv.org and select “Book TV Bus.”
