HARTFORD, Conn. (November 10, 2011) – CPTV is celebrating its 18th season of broadcasting UConn Women’s Basketball by partnering with The Langan Volkswagen Group to give away an all-new 2012 Volkswagen Beetle.
This season during any of the 21 UConn Women’s Basketball games broadcast live on CPTV, viewers can call in to be automatically entered into the drawing. Also, anyone who makes an online pledge to CPTV.org during a live UConn broadcast is automatically entered to win. Only one entry per household is permitted and a pledge to CPTV is not necessary to enter.
The first opportunity to enter is this Sunday, November 13 at 2 p.m. when UConn takes on Holy Cross for the season opener on CPTV. The last chance is during the final CPTV broadcast of the season, when the Huskies face the Golden Eagles of Marquette on Saturday, February 25, 2012.
At the end of the season, one lucky name will be randomly selected from all of the entries received. The winner will receive an all-new 2012 2-liter turbo Volkswagen Beetle featuring a Fender sound system, navigation system and automatic transmission. The car features a Reef Blue exterior and black leather interior and retails for $28,785. The car will be on display at Langan Volkswagen of Vernon at 167 Hartford Turnpike in Vernon, Connecticut throughout the contest period.

Gene Langan of The Langan Volkswagen Group, with stores in Glastonbury, Vernon and Meriden commented on their partnership with CPTV: “Langan Volkswagen has been proud to support community events since 1969. We’re especially pleased and excited to be supporting CPTV, an important community asset, and their presentation of UConn Women’s Basketball during the 2011-12 season.”
In addition to the VW Beetle, the winner and three friends will get to have dinner with CPTV’s on-air UConn team – CPTV Color Analyst and former UConn Women’s Basketball player Meghan Culmo, UConn Producer Harriet Unger, and beloved in-studio host Mary Hobart.
This season, tune in to CPTV to watch the Huskies drive to the hoop and you could be driving home in your new car, thanks to The Langan Volkswagen Group and CPTV!
