The Biloxi Bay Chamber of Commerce is underwriting more than a dozen airings of a TV commercial promoting Biloxi Public Schools on WLOX.
The 30-second spot, created in January, touts Biloxi High School as a national Blue Ribbon Award winner and notes that Biloxi public schools were back in session "a mere 19 days after Hurricane Katrina."
Beau Rivage sponsored more than 200 airings of the spot on local cable TV in February, when it was also posted on the school district web site.
The Biloxi Bay chamber spot began airing on WLOX March 19, when it aired three times.
The remainder of the Biloxi Bay Chamber of Commerce-funded airings:
March 24 - 5:05 p.m., during "WLOX News."
March 25 - 12:53 p.m., during "All My Children."
March 26 - 10:28 a.m., during "The View"; 4:23 p.m., during "The 4 O'clock Show"; and 10:21 p.m., during "WLOX News."
March 27 - 8:46 a.m., during "Good Morning America"; and 6:59 p.m., during "Wheel of Fortune."
March 28 - 9:23 a.m., during "Live With Regis & Kelly"; and 5:18 p.m., during "WLOX News."
