CPT12 Pressroom

DENVER – (October 1, 2008) – “Drill, baby drill” and “NO to offshore drilling” have been diverse mantras of politicians and other interested parties – especially during this election year.

Studio 12 Host Steffan Tubbs and a panel of experts with differing opinions regarding offshore drilling, onshore drilling and oil shale in the Rockies will examine the issue Wednesday, Oct.8 at 8 p.m. on KBDI-Channel 12. 

“While many feel these actions could help our energy crisis, others fear the move could adversely affect our environment,” producer Heather Domko said.  “We will look at both sides of the issue.” 

A tape of the Studio 12 program will be available via free video-on-demand October 10 on KBDI’s website, www.kbdi.org.

Each week Studio 12 explores hot issues and fascinating topics with provocative and knowledgeable guests.  Studio 12 is the only primetime television show in Colorado that encourages viewers at home to call in and join the discussion.
