CHANTILLY, VA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 02/02/07 -- TV Worldwide.com, Inc., a fast-growing
web-based global TV network, today announced that it will webcast the 8th
Annual "Capital Cyber Bowl" to benefit the Touchdown Club Charities of
Washington, D.C. This unique event has attracted widespread sponsorship and
national interest while highlighting a local rivalry that exists between
tech executives and their brick and mortar counterparts in the web-savvy
Northern Virginia business community.
"Many of these guys have met every Sunday during the season for the last 23
years to live out past football fantasies and network. They're always
excited to play in this Tech vs. Brick and Mortar format and as always, the
sponsors have responded to help us benefit Touchdown Club Charities of
Washington," commented Dave Gardy, Chairman of TV Worldwide, which webcasts
the event. "In our 8th year of webcasting the event, we've got quite a cult
following online, especially with the Internet video boom, and we're
provisioning our servers to meet the demand of those who want to see if the
Brick and Mortars can even the score, 4-4."
"We're going to crush these 'Web Weenies' and infiltrate their offense like
a worm on their server," stated Bricks and Mortar Defensive End Mike
D'Amato, a shipyard engineer. "Those Internet geeks need a dose of good
old-fashioned Brick and Mortar smash-mouth football."
"I actually saw a Brick player trying to create the team roster on a
computer, but he kept crashing the program," stated Microsoft's Steve
Lough, Web Warrior quarterback. "He blamed it on his hard drive, but I
think the problem was somewhere between his chair and the keyboard."
Event sponsors include Base Technologies, TV Worldwide, Blue Chair
Advertising, Washington Business Journal, Progressive Radiology, Dulles
National Financial Services, Virginia Commerce Bank, Studley Commercial
Real Estate, and Bisnow on Business.
"We're excited about this 8th Annual Cyberbowl," said Gary Nakamoto,
President of the Touchdown Club of Washington and the Fairfax County
Chamber of Commerce. "It's good to see players on both teams engaged in
this gridiron battle to help Touchdown Club Charities. We want to thank the
event sponsors for supporting this webcast to benefit and promote Touchdown
Club efforts."
Capital Cyber Bowl coverage begins at 11:30 AM ET on Sunday, February 4 at
www.tvworldwide.com. Participants should have the free Windows Media Player
installed and should log on prior to the event to test the free video
stream.
