The Fort Wayne Mad Ants are headed to Hollywood! The Mad Ants will make their prime time television debut this Monday, September 29 on The CW as the hit drama One Tree Hill begins a storyline featuring the NBA Development League’s most recognizable team. Regular cast member Nathan (played by James Lafferty) will try out for the Mad Ants as he pursues his dream of playing professional basketball.

Producers of the show have worked closely with Fort Wayne and the National Basketball Association to accurately portray a young player’s journey through the D-League to the NBA. One Tree Hill will replicate the Mad Ants’ widely popular logo and recreate their home court as they bring the team to life on national television. The show’s Nathan will follow the path taken by players like the Mad Ants’ own Earl Calloway, Ron Howard, and Rod Wilmont as they work their way up the professional basketball ranks.

The Mad Ants are excited to partner with the NBA and The CW, and the team is equally excited to be a vehicle which continues to raise the national profile of the Summit City. Join viewers from across the nation as they focus on Fort Wayne during The CW’s One Tree Hill starting this Monday at 9:00 PM ET on Comcast channel 19, Direct TV channel 385, Dish Network channel 234 or 251, or Verizon channel 6.

Just got this from Jojiemae through email and thought it was cool.  Hello to all of the Canadian fans!

My name is Jojiemae and I am a huge fan of one tree hill.  I just wanted to show how big of a fan base the show has.  I’m from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and on our buses they’re advertising the show on a new channel that they’re showing it on.  I thought it was pretty cool.  So i thought I would share it with you.  Thanks!

Come by and leave a comment on the 19th edition of the podcast. Even if you just drop by and say hello to the band you are entered to win. The contest is open to fans worldwide and ends Friday Sept. 26 at Noon ET.

In addition to laying music over emotional scenes (although it did that, too), The WB/CW’s One Tree Hill has integrated live performances, from the likes of Kate Voegele, Kevin Federline, and Jack’s Mannequin, into story lines. The shows usually happen at the local hangout, Tric, and revolve around Peyton (Hilarie Burton), who loves music and now even runs her own music label.

Thanks, Denise and Peter for sending my way.
