Where to See Race for the Presidency
"TCI invites America's cable operators to join us in doing something about eight-second sound bites, 30-second attack ads, and money-driven elections. Do your subscribers a
favor by airing the only program that gives free air time to all the major candidates for President. Race for the Presidency is available to you in open satellite feeds at no charge. Why not offer it in your communities as a citizenship initiative? Working together as we do in supporting C-SPAN, the cable industry can take another step to put the public back in public affairs television." -- Brendan R. Clouston, Executive Vice President, Tele-Communications Inc. (from an ad in Multichannel News, Sept. 11, 1995)
Race for the Presidency is available on cable networks, regional news channels, public television stations and an open satellite feed.
