| Summary: | Dr. Benjamin F. Reaves and Alabama Public Television pitch new show / 5000 Beechmont / Dr. Benjamin F. Reaves is a former Oakwood College official with a warm smile, some sort of puppet friend and a mesmerizing voice to lend to a new show for kids on Alabama Public TV called "Grandfather Reads." It will be taped in Huntsville for broadcast statewide and maybe in other states. Look for shots that portray Reaves' warm personality and showmanship - why he's appealing, what people can expect when they tune into his show. Also look for ways to illustrate the excitement of a new TV show getting under way - show the camera, the set - the work and enthusiasm people won't see when they tune into this show. Producer are husband and wife team - Dick Curtis and Susan Christiansen - former local TV reporters who say they left their news jobs three year ago to devote themselves to this project. / [Notes included] |
