You asked for it.
You got it. PROMOS!

We'll announce the feed date and time
as soon as we have it. Each spot can be customized with lower
third supers and local announce. We are very pleased with
the work that Duane Huey and Kenneth King of Iowa Public Television
have done on the project.
As a sneak preview, we have placed two
spots (one for Allo, Allo and one for Chef) on the site and
invite you to take a look. These still have scratch track
narration. We're getting "British" voices for the final versions.
In order to open these files you will
need to have Apple
Quick Time installed on your computer, which you can download
for free here.
Each file is 3MB. Download time will depend
on your connection bandwidth.
