“Battle Creek” On CBS
Incase you haven't heard, the new Cop Drama "Battle Creek" debuts on March 1st on CBS. We've been getting bits & pieces of what to expect and we know that many exterior scenes were actually shot in the city. I'm surprised there hasn't been more hype and more promos on Channel 3 or the network.
However, WWMT is holding a special preview for Battle Creek residents on February 24th. Check out the press release with all the details and some stuff about the show.
‘BATTLE CREEK’ WORLD PREMIERE!
WWMT-TV NEWSCHANNEL 3 in partnership with the CITY OF BATTLE CREEK will host the world premiere of the new CBS drama ‘Battle Creek’. This event will be held on Tuesday, February 24th at the Kellogg Auditorium in Battle Creek. Doors will open at 6pm and the screening will start at 7pm that night. The new police drama ‘Battle Creek’ comes from the creator of “Breaking Bad”, Vince Gilligan and the creator of “House”, David Shore. A special taped ‘thank you’ message from creator Vince Gilligan will precede the screening. The show will follow the mismatched partnership of a police detective and FBI agent in Battle Creek, Michigan starring Josh Duhamel and Dean Winters. Josh Duhamel plays a handsome easygoing FBI agent that is sent to work in a small office in Michigan. He is paired with a local, hard-boiled homicide detective played by Dean Winters. They work long hours together and their opposite approaches to crime solving breeds frustration, disdain and possibly, a grudging respect.
