You can't watch the annual LIVE on CET! fund-raiser on TV this year, so the folks at WCET-TV are hoping you'll buy a ticket to attend and bid on the auction items in person.
LIVE On CET! will be Wednesday, Sept. 21, at JACK Casino downtown, since the usual location – Music Hall Ballroom – is closed for the massive Music Hall renovation.
Here's the info from Kellie May, CET and ThinkTV (Channel 48 and 16) public relations and digital media specialist:
