Before we reveal a sneak peek at the first several weeks of our high school girls and boys wrestling and basketball broadcast schedule for the new winter season, a couple programming notes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We have been very busy gearing up for the 39th Annual Dream Come True Telethon<\/em> on Astound TV <\/em>(We\u2019ll also be streaming the telethon live on our YouTube channel<\/a><\/strong> for the second straight year!).<\/span><\/p>\n

The bidding auction is now live right here on our website<\/strong><\/a> and you can get on right now to check out all the great items on display this year along with placing your bids (Hint: Make your first bid your highest to eliminate all the competition!).<\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve made some enhancements to the telethon again this year by adding a more diverse group of musical performers to entertain you. Additionally, we’ve expanded Artie Freeman’s interviews with Dream Come True<\/em> recipients to go more in depth with their stories and show you just how much that your donations and your bids on auction items mean to the families in our community.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope you like these additions to the telethon, but again, the success or failure of whether we reach our goal depends on you and your generosity.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Please look at our auction items<\/a><\/strong> right now and also spread the word to let your friends and family know about the bidding opportunities (and how easy it makes your Christmas shopping, while supporting a great cause.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Second programming item — our last ATVN<\/em>-produced high school football broadcast of the fall will be this Friday live at 7pm as we feature teams from BOTH our Lehigh Valley and Delaware Valley viewing areas: Southern Lehigh vs. Bonner Prendergast.\u00a0 The winner will move on to the PIAA championship, which you will be able to see on PCN (Astound Channel 97).<\/span><\/p>\n

Last weekend, we were able to broadcast Parkland’s match up against St. Joseph’s that ended the Trojan season.\u00a0 We are thankful for all the positive comments we received about braving the elements to bring that game home to our viewers here in the Lehigh Valley and help those people avoid having to sit in 30\u00b0 temperatures in the pouring freezing rain (and snow, which wasn\u2019t in the forecast) for four hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, for a look at the first few weeks of our winter high school sports schedule<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keep in mind, this is just the first few weeks and we will be featuring many other teams and schools the rest of the winter regular season. As has been our custom the last two years, we will look to feature both as many different schools as possible while also bringing you the best matchups each night (Note: The two top pre-season basketball teams face each other on December 19th LIVE on ATVN!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Hopefully Mother Nature cooperates and we don’t have too many snowed-out events or weather-related canceled games!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make sure you bookmark our website<\/strong> and refer back to our \u201cBroadcasting Pages\u201d for both HS basketball and wrestling throughout the winter season to see our featured teams and the best matchups each night over the next several months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, a sincere and Happy Thanksgiving<\/strong> wish to all of our Astound<\/em> customers and viewers.\u00a0 We hope you’ll join us over this holiday weekend for our state football playoff coverage and the Dream Come True Telethon<\/em> this Monday night at 6:00 p.m.!<\/span><\/p>\n
