tion permitting Mayor Buddy Choat to enter the city into a media partnership agreement with local CBS affiliate WIAT Channel 42, for an amount not to exceed $72,000, taken from the General Fund. “This is a year-long advertising campaign through CBS 42,” Mayor Choat said. “A lot of it has to do with focus
on sports within our Entertainment District, our stage. They’ll have live broadcasts with the weather out there two times in the fall. It’s kind of a fall and then a spring/ summer campaign. In the fall, we’re going to focus more on what’s going on in the district as far as ball games on the TV, music, any events going on. Then we come back in the spring and really start including more of the businesses and/or incorporate all of them together.” Representatives from CBS 42 gave a presentation to the council at the workshop meeting on Thursday, May 4, proposing $36,000 each for the fall campaign and spring/ summer campaign. “One reason that I was in favor of doing this, and the council agreed, is their partnership with sports,” Choat said. “CBS Sports, as you know, carries SEC football this year, and so we’ll be on six times during the fall on
