Author Topic: The First Annual 24-Hour Game Show Marathon (Read 5904 times)

This year, on behalf of the American Cancer Society, Relay For Life and WSIN, I, Christian Carrion, along with some friends, will be attempting something never done on the station before.

As a matter of fact, I don't think it's ever been done before on American radio.

From 3pm Friday (April 27) to 3pm Saturday (April 28), listen to WSINRADIO.ORG and watch LIVE at ustream.tv (keyword: WSINRadio) as I, Bob Hagh, Cory Anotado, and some friends from SCSU and LaSalle University in PA re-enact 24 of the greatest game shows of all time. It's one game an hour, for a continuous 24 hours. During the show, you can pledge donations online via WSIN's Relay For Life team page.

Questions, answers, bells, buzzers, words, drawings, music, and laughter -- nonstop, for an entire day. Can we do it? Will we make history? Will we become delusional in the process?

24 game shows. 24 hours. No sleep.

This is the first annual 24-Hour Game Show Marathon.

**Sponsored by Colleges Against Cancer and WSIN 1590 AM**

OK, this I have to tune into. I'm still kicking myself for completely missing the live web stream of 24 Hour Panel People, a BBC online telethon in which comedian David Walliams attempted to stage twenty famous British game shows in twenty-four hours.

Update: Here's our logo (thanks to Cory "pacdude" Anotado):

Every title you see will be represented in the broadcast.

Pointless and Million-Dollar Mind Game? Sold.

Is this going to be kept/shared for posterity?

Absolutely. We'll have the entire 24 hours' worth of audio recorded, and I'm gonna have two or three friends with cameras, so you can bet I'll put a highlight show together.

Also, I believe UStream will save the broadcast for later viewing on our page.

There's some cool shows hiding beyond the logo that is inspired—rather generously—from 24 Hour Panel People. I'm super excited to be a part of this, and I'm glad we're doing this for a good cause.

If the last game isn't Cram, I'll have no truck with the lot of you.

I think it'll be Cram, whether we know it or not.

Can't wait for this. As the brother of a cancer survivor, I really wish I could somehow take part, but I will be watching, and you can count on some cash-roo from Tennessee

Here's my question: I want to invite all my Facebook friends to this event, but when I type things like "24 Hour Game Show" into the search box, the page linked to on this thread doesn't seem to come up.

Anybody know why?

Have you yourself joined the event? Until you do that, I don't think it'll come up in a search.
