The historic Inauguration that will take place on Tuesday, January 20th, 2009, will be broadcasted in 27 movie theatres around the country. The new deal between MSNBC and Screenvision was revealed this week. Free tickets are being handed out via MSNBC.com to see the inauguration and parade from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m. ET at the 27 theaters run by 11 exhibitor partners in 21 markets.  You’ll be a a part of history in the making!

Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and other MSNBC and NBC personalities will play the big movie screen in addition to the usual MSNBC cable and satellite stream. High-definition won’t kick in until the second quarter, but both the channel and Screenvision say the quality will still be high. “It’ll look great,” MSNBC president Phil Griffin said. “We’re thrilled about it.”

How exciting…

To my reader, will you be in D.C. for the Inauguration?
