Putting Fun Back Into TV Premiers

Way back in the day, when there were just three major networks, Fall TV premier party season was a big, big deal. Stations went all out, wineing and dining agencies and advertisers with private riverboat trips, casino nights, and celebrity appearances. At one NBC affiliate party, you could go shake hands with Golden Girls Estelle Getty (when she was still alive) and Betty White (when she was merely old).

That same event (when NBC was at the top of the ratings) featured a magic performance by Harry Anderson that blew everybody away, causing one guy in the audience to even say "I want to have his baby!"

The world has changed, and the big galas are a thing of the past. But that doesn't mean you can't have some TV premier fun--and get the scoop on all the new shows.

AAF Knoxville has conspired with all the major networks and cable stations to produce the 2010 Fall TV Premier Event on Wednesday, August 26, at Johnny Carino's in West Knoxville (Lovell and Parkside). From 4-6, we'll network and see presentation from the networks on their Fall fare, then be done in time for people to head home or out with colleagues and clients for elaborate MadMen-style dinners (relax, though--what happens at AdFed, stays at AdFed).

It's always fun, and we've shaped this year's event based on input from the Knoxville ad community. Come join us--get the knowledge you need about Fall TV all in one place (the ONLY event where all networks are represented), and converse with some of the most interesting people you'll ever meet in your life.
