TV Turnoff Week - Jam MTV

Adbusters | 18.04.2003 11:51

It's time to put on the ol' jamming boots and tell MTV that The People
own the airwaves and profit-hungry corporations ain't the only ones
allowed to buy air time

Jammers:

In the buildup to TV Turnoff Week 2003 (April 21-27) we've hit the
corporate wall at MTV. Their "clearance department" didn't like our
simple, quarter-minute "TV-Head" uncommercial. How's that for free
speech from the station with attitude?

It's time to put on the ol' jamming boots and tell MTV that The People
own the airwaves and profit-hungry corporations ain't the only ones
allowed to buy air time:
- storm MTV studios,
- clog their online message boards,
- jam their "rants and raves" page, and
- plug their phone lines (1-212-258-8000) with your calls to keep
the airwaves free. Check our website for links and an action forum:

But MTV can't hold us back. We've already got airtime on CNN Headline
News for one showing of our TV-Head uncommercial (6:06 pm EST Sunday,
April 20).

Meanwhile, people around the world are into TV Turnoff Week. See the TV
Turnoff contact list to register your action or connect with someone

Finally, the TV Turnoff toolkit has posters, mp3 audio clips, short
video spots and other anti-TV experiments. Check the sidebar info at:
