Not content to rest on their laurels, Antiques Roadshow’s producers have introduced an irresistible array of new online features and activities to mark the site’s tenth anniversary in 2006, including the first-ever national sweepstakes. 

Antiques Roadshow “House Calls” turns the tables on our TV format by inviting you to enter and win an appraisal in the comfort of your own home—complete with Roadshow experts and television cameras. The six lucky “House Calls” winners may be featured on Roadshow’s 2007 season. Visit www.pbs.org/antiques  for complete rules. Entries will be accepted beginning at 12 Noon on December 12, 2005. Deadline for entries is 12 Noon on February 15, 2006.

Then experience great Roadshow milestones and moments from the series’ first decade. Our tenth anniversary video scrapbook has something for everyone, whether newcomer or hard-core fan:

• Relive the excitement of Roadshow’s all-time top ten appraisals. 
• See how a Roadshow event comes to life with an insider’s tour of the production process. 
• Feel the excitement build as cameras follow the crowd gathering for a Roadshow event.
• Can’t get enough of Roadshow’s “feedback booth” at the end of every episode? Enjoy a veritable feedback booth binge!
• And get a peek at what’s coming up in Roadshow’s tenth anniversary season. 

Then, over the course of the upcoming season, match wits with the market in the Tenth Anniversary “Appraise It Yourself” games by guessing how much objects appraised in 1996 are worth today.

The URLwire Effect:
"URLwire is without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the online world about your web site"
-- CoolShopping.com

My experience with URLWire has been entirely positive.
I received coverage (and links!) from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers. Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin Hayward
