This has indeed been an historic election and Disney wants to share in the festivities.
This Monday, January 19, 2009, the Disney Channel is airing a very special show called Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future. It is a concert/show being performed live at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. The performance is being shown on the Disney Channel at 8pm Eastern Time/7pm Central Time. It is also being simulcast on Radio Disney, which is broadcasted in many major cities and on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio, as well as being on DirectTV music channels. It will also be available as an Encore presentation on Disney.com/USA starting at 9:30pm Eastern Time/8:30pm Central Time.
It’s never too late to begin the indoctrination process for 2012.
The performance is expected to include Miley Cyrus (i.e. Hannah Montana), the Jonas Brothers, Demi Lovato, Corbin Bleu, Bow Wow, Billy Ray Cyrus, Usher, Shaquille O’Neil, and Jamie Foxx. The event will also include the Obama’s, although it is not very clear if that means the whole family, but it does appear very obvious that it at least includes Michelle Obama, the soon to be First Lady, as one of the hosts. One of the other hosts is Jill Biden, the wife of the soon to be new Vice President.
Funny, I couldn’t find any Disney Kid’s Inauguration specials for George W. Bush, but I did find one for Bill Clinton. Not like there’s a pattern.
The children’s events will continue on Jan. 19, the eve of Inauguration Day, with two one-hour television specials airing live from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts here.
“The Presidential Inaugural Celebration for Children” will air on the cable Disney Channel at 3 P.M. Eastern and Pacific times. The special will feature Fred Rogers of public television’s “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,” the Muppets, and the country-music performers Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris.
“The Presidential Inaugural Celebration for Youth” will air on the Disney Channel at 5 P.M. Eastern and Pacific times. It will include performances by such pop-music artists as Boyz II Men and Celine Dion, as well as by the Joffrey Ballet.
Disney will make both shows available to all basic-cable-television subscribers.
I’m sure John McCain would’ve appreciated the gesture.
I just realized that I have 2 shares of Disney stock, and the next time I get invited to a shareholders meeting, I’m going to yell at all of them
that’s just disgusting..my uncle works for disney, works on overseeing park projects, etc and I’m sure he’d be disgusted as well at this and the other nagging disney issue
