2011 Links to Media Stories
Here you will find media coverage of the 2011 Grinch display. It appears that WSFA has removed the video from their site. I'll try and find it and post it to the "Media" tab. The stories that were reported from the list below were mainly derived from WSFA TV 12 and The Montgomery Advertiser. The story was picked up by the Associated Press Wire Service and distributed to various media outlets. My intent was to show the various places that picked up the story and then published the story, broadcasted it or both. If you stumble onto an outlet that wasn't mentioned, please e-mail it to me at thyno@tzchristmas.com and I'll post it here, after I've verified it.

Searching through the logs, it appears it was shown once every 2 hours until midnight. I'm still trying to find video of the actual broadcasts.
