[net.movies] The Movie Channel 97MOVIE

A friend of mine in Washington saw an advertisement in TV Guide which
gave a number, 97MOVIE (976 6843).  When he dials this number it gives
three trivia questions, and you get to touch-tone the answers on your
telephone.  If you answer all three questions correctly you win the prize
of the day.  The prizes so far have been:

	A ``This day in Hollywood'' T-Shirt   From the Movie Channel
	Music from academy award winning films  "" "" ""
        An academy award picture book           "" "" ""
        and Five dollars in cash              From IIN

GTE charges 50 cents per call.  I can't dial it here from New York, I
just get a recording, so he has to use his three-way calling for me to
be able to participate.  Does anyone know of this existing anywhere else
other than Washington State?  Is there some way for me to call it myself?
We have won all of the prizes except the picture book.
