Check out the Auction Network!!!!
March 18, 2008
A new 24-hour auction network was launched October 28 and is providing auction news to attendees, educational features about auctions, personality profiles of Auctioneers, and other programming. We urge you to visit Auction Network online at www.auctionnetwork.biz.
Auction Network is expected to expand to cable and satellite television later this year, and will bring the auction industry visibility to millions more Americans. On the website, viewers are already watching film of exciting auctions conducted in many specialties.
One is a Grand Civil War Auction, with General Grant’s sword for auction, and General Custer’s flag. Soon, on Auction Network, viewers will be able to watch live auctions and bid as if they were standing on the auction floor.
The website provides “Internet television,” which is TV programming delivered to personal computers, mobile devices, set top boxes, and even your television – all via the Internet. Many people are watching TV programs on their computers already, and this website is an example of how you can watch highly colorful, clear programming about auctions.
When you visit the Auction Network website, you’ll see a large moving picture screen on the left side of webpage. You can listen to the video through speakers hooked to your computer. On the right side of the webpage is the program guide, showing the name of the program and when it will appear. There are shows like “Ask the Experts” and “Auction ABCs” that help you learn more about how to be successful at auctions.
Another feature is the button called “Video on Demand,” located above the moving picture screen. Click on that, and it will open a new screen. You can click on the program links on the right side, at any time, to start watching the video film of Auctioneer profiles (such as about car Auctioneer Spanky Assiter) and see programs about the National Auctioneers Association’s bid calling contest, called the International Auctioneers Championship.
This new 24-hour-day auction network is expected to draw strong viewership from the 70 million people who attend auctions annually. Auctions today are the subject of 46.7 million books, magazines and videos. Be sure to tune in and enjoy!
