Huntsville may be known for its rocket technology, but on August 24 its citizens were thinking about something else, over-the-air TV antennas. Kicking off the 2010 Unemployment Bus Tour, we teamed up with local station WAFF, Cumulus Radio and the Decatur Mall team for a hugely successful antenna giveaway.
With lines that were estimated at around 1,000 people, we gave out $20,000 worth of antennas. The giveaway was aimed at helping the residents of the area, which has experienced higher than average unemployment rates. We were also able to answer questions and give tips for residents to cope with northern Alabama’s mountainous unique geography, helping people receive better reception.
Kicking off the bus tour in the Heart of Dixie was a great start to the tour. The local residents were very excited about receiving one of our ClearStream antennas, completely free. Thanks to everyone in Alabama, now we are off to Arkansas.
