Oops. Contrary to our initial announcement, the broadcast runs from 10 a.m.- 6
p.m. eastern time.
The 5-6 p.m. hour is the vice-presidential forum. Don't miss that!
---------------------------------------
We are pleased to announce that the 15th Annual Homelessness Marathon will air
on Sunday, October 21st, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., eastern time.
This broadcast will be different from any of our previous ones.
In the past we have broadcast overnight.
This year we are broadcasting during the day.
In the past we have broadcast on a weekday.
This year we will broadcast on a weekend.
In the past, we have originated from a central location.
This year, we will originate from all over the country.
Seven different affiliates in seven different cities will be originating an
hour each, reflecting local issues where they are. Our eighth hour will be a
"Vice-Presidential Candidates Forum." Cheri Honkala, the vice-presidential
candidate of the Green Party and Judge Jim Gray, the vice-presidential
candidate of the Libertarian Party will answer questions from homeless people
on how their tickets, if elected, will address poverty.
It should be interesting.
Our list of affiliates is published on our website. If you don't live near a
station that will be carrying the broadcast, you can tune in on our computer
