TEAM UP is a youth celebration broadcast on five networks. It is an awards style show with performances by major young recording artists and celebrity hosts. ALL STAR SATURDAY involve skills demonstrations by NBA stars. THE BROADWAY HALF-TIME was a special show created for the event when it was at Madison Square Garden and featured over 70 cast members from all the current Broadway shows. That show, like all the All-Star game events was loaded in, rehearsed and broadcast live within a very busy six day schedule. It was seen world-wide on NBC, TNT and International Networks.
