CHASE TO THE CHECKERED RE-LAUNCHES INTO JOHNSTOWN THIS SATURDAY MORNING

(Somerset, PA) Race fans throughout western and central Pennsylvania will once again be able to fill their need for speed this Saturday morning as the popular motorsports television program Chase to the Checkered returns to the airwaves of WJAC-TV in Johnstown at 9:00AM.

Chase to the Checkered, or C2C, was temporarily bumped from the NBC affiliate's airwaves due to the network's Saturday morning coverage of the French Open, Wimbledon and required children's programming.

During this time, C2C could be seen in over a million homes in the Pittsburgh market Saturday mornings at 8:30 on WNPA-TV UPN 19.  Now, with the re-addition of WJAC at 9:00AM, the show will be delivered to nearly 1.5 million homes throughout the region every Saturday.

"We were disappointed to learn of the temporary loss of the Johnstown market," commented C2C Executive Producer Jarred Romesburg. "But we will now be on the air uninterrupted through the end of Jennerstown Speedway's 2003 regular season on both UPN 19 and WJAC Saturday mornings."

Romesburg added, "I would like to thank the fans for their patience and for all of the feedback they have been sending the C2C crew. We are proud of the work we do and thank them all for inviting us into their living rooms every Saturday morning."

Produced by Romesburg Media, the award-winning Chase to the Checkered is the only regional broadcast television program of its kind. C2C currently covers the races, drivers and events at Jennerstown Speedway. For more information, please visit C2C's web site - ChasetotheCheckered.com.
