Guam’s Fox6 will run a special one hour COPS on September 29, 2007. The show will feature classic COPS car chases, super-inebriated suspects, sizzling tasers, disheartening domestics, problematic perps and gutsy officers from coast to coast.
Highlights include: Officers in Fresno, California, question a stony suspect claiming he’s not driving under the influence despite the joint visibly tucked behind his ear. In Albuquerque, New Mexico, a male cross-dresser wearing a leopard one-piece is questioned. In Buffalo, New York, officers wrestle with a massive and hungry python hiding inside a residence. A suspect in Kansas City, Missouri, is so intoxicated when gets out from behind the wheel, he stumbles and lands a painful face plant. In a heroic rescue in Passaic County, New Jersey, officers save a man from danger in a raging river. Producer, writer, director John Langley created Fox Broadcasting Company’s television series COPS in 1988. The long-running Fox reality program, currently in its 19th season, pioneered the often emulated video verite format.
Sorensen Media Group CEO Rex Sorensen said, “This show highlights the kind of work law enforcement must do to catch criminals. When this show first aired I believed it would shed a positive light on the people who are sworn to protect communities all across America. Happy 20th COPS.”
Lotus Media Services Managing Director Evan M. Cohen said advertisers should consider COPS because it continues to draw viewers of all ages and incomes, “We’re happy that COPS turned 20. It shows the strong viewership and reach of this brand. This show will be around for a little while longer.”
Rex Sorensen is Chairman & CEO of Sorensen Media Group which includes the stations of News Talk K57, Power 98, 105 The KAT, Fox 6 and ABC 7 on Guam.
