Mayor Mallory's YP Kitchen Cabinet has collaborated with a number of local, regional and state leaders to extend an invitation to VH1 to tape its popular Top 20 Video Countdown from Cincinnati and our re-energized Fountain Square, in light of the popularity of the 3 Doors Down video, "It's Not My Time,"  which was shot entirely in Cincinnati (due to the great work of the Film Commission).  

VH1 President Tom Calderone has shown interest in this as well. But we need your help, and urgently.

Please visit the following link on VH1.com to vote for the 3 Doors Down video, which depicts 20 Cincinnati landmarks, including Fountain Square, Government Square, Over-the-Rhine and our majestic Queen City skyline.

**This Effort Would Generate Six Hours
Of National Publicity In 90 Millions Homes

VH1's Top 20 Video Countdown is a two-hour program that airs three times during the week – beginning from 9-11 a.m. Saturdays – and features a dozen mini-remotes during which host Alison Becker touts the different venues from the assigned location of the week. VH1 penetrates 90 million homes. A remote broadcast from Cincinnati would generate six hours of positive national publicity for Cincinnati on VH1. Alison would be able to tape from our new Fountain Square, Government Square, the Freedom Center, restaurants and nightclubs that have sprung up around the square, plus some views overlooking the city.

This is a tremendous opportunity to promote our new Fountain Square, our re-energized Downtown! Thanks so much. Please vote early and often!
