Jefferson Pilot Sports announces that Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership has secured the exclusive entitlement sponsorship of its new summer series, "Football Saturdays in the South".
JP Sports will present " Aaron's Football Saturdays in the South" - a weekly, four-part series that will present a visual essay on some of the playing and coaching stars of the southern college gridiron, both yesterday and today. Using the Jefferson Pilot Sports extensive library of video footage, the program will re-live some of the great moments in college football. In addition the show will feature up-close and personal interviews with the stars themselves. Some of the personalities scheduled to appear include Bo Jackson, Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning, Tiki and Ronde Barber, Frank Beamer, Tommy Tuberville, and David Pollack. Each of the hour-long programs will include 5 different features.
"We're excited to be part of the inaugural telecast of the Aaron's Football Saturdays in the South" Series, said Lori Wilson, Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership's Broadcast Media Manager. "We think this is an excellent way to promote our brand across the southeastern part of the country. The series is a perfect complement to Aaron's ACC and SEC Football advertising package with JP Sports."
The theme for each episode is as follows:
Episode 1 -- Southern Heisman Trophy
Winners
Episode 2 -- Southern Football Families
Episode 3 -- Southern Coaches
Episode 4 -- Wild Card/Various Topics
The show, hosted by Tim Brando, with reporters Mike Hogewood, Dave Baker and Jenn Hildreth, will air in over 50 markets on weekend afternoons in the Southeast from July 31 - Aug. 22.
