*** ESPN, WALT DISNEY STUDIOS BROADCASTING A&M-TEXAS GAME IN THEATRES: ESPN and The Walt Disney Studios are teaming up to offer sports fans a unique way to experience their favorite college sporting events by broadcasting them live at a digitally equipped state-of-the-art theater in their neighborhood. The excitement begins when ESPN HD broadcasts the upcoming rematch between No. 11 TEXAS and No. 16 TEXAS A&M on Monday, February 18 at 8 p.m. (CT). College basketball fans from across the state, who are unable to attend the game at UT’s sold-out Frank Erwin Center, can watch the cross-state rivals’ tip off from the equivalent of courtside seats. From the comfort of their local theater, fans will experience all of the action and thrills of this Big 12 match-up in brilliant color and digital clarity through the DLP Cinema ® digital projection system. The entire broadcast will be presented commercial free and will include special ESPN content created exclusively for theater audiences. Unlike a normal movie presentation, fans are encouraged to cheer and root for their team during the broadcast – just as if they were at the game. Tickets to this event can be purchased online at www.ESPNDigitalCinema.com or at each participating theatre’s box office. CARMIKE CINEMAS, RAVE MOTION PICTURES and GALAXY THEATRES will host this ESPN Digital Cinema Event at their theatres in the following select markets:
ABILENE: CARMIKE PARK CENTRAL 6
