S. S. Canadiana
To: All Buffalo and Western New York Radio and T. V. Stations
A Message and A Request
From The S. S. Canadiana Preservation Society, Inc.
To all Area Television Stations:
All of the major Buffalo
Television Stations, along with all the Cable T.V. Companies, have supported the
Canadiana project over the years. ~ WBEN Ch. 4 has always made a great effort to
give us extended coverage on all the dances and other fund raisings or whenever
there was something going on at the boat itself. ~ Brian Kaile of WKBW Ch. 7
attended many of our board meetings and interviewed our people on his "AM
Buffalo" show. ~ We appeared on other programs such as WNED Ch. 17's "Over
Fifty" and even produced our own "Canadiana Special" which was advertized in
T.V. Guide and aired over all the Cable Companies in Western New York. ~ We
raised $5000.00 in that one hour. ~ See the "Support" link to see the dozens of
T.V. anchors and other area V.I.P.'s who appeared on that special. ~ Recently,
Barry Lillis of WGRZ Ch. 2 lent his flair and hosted another one hour Cable
Special we put together to tell of our ISTEA funding and all that it meant to
the project. ~ While not intended as a fund raiser, that show still brought in
several thousand dollars.
Tens of thousands of our supporters who are
your viewers, are out there waiting to be told of the Canadiana. ~ They need to
know about the current situation and how very close we are to bringing the
Canadiana back. ~ Please have us appear on any of the various interview or talk
shows on your collective stations. ~ We'll be there and you know the
viewers will come. ~ Give us a chance to speak our piece. ~ We will
succeed and your viewers will be very grateful they heard it on your station.
Thanks
for any and all assistance to "Float the Boat".
