Fox News First anchors Mike Valdes and Cynthia Lee announce that Fox 29 and My35 will show the three major Fiesta parades without commercials in April. Fiesta San Antonio Commission President John Steen looks during the Feb. 13 news conference at The Fiesta Store, 2611 Broadway.
The Battle of Flowers Parade is to be shown on KABB April 25. The Texas Cavaliers River Parade, April 21, and the Fiesta Flambeau Parade, April 26, will be on KMYS. Valdes and Lee will host all three broadcasts.
The new format means that viewers won't miss favorite floats, bands or other units because of commercial interruptions. Major Fiesta corporate partners H-E-B, Capital One Bank, Chevrolet and the Texas Chevy Dealers, and AT&T will receive recognition during the shows.
